Chapter 198: The Auction of the Three Publics Principle
In anticipation of many wizards, the day of the auction was held.
The auction was organized by the Ministry of Magic, and was jointly titled by a variety of well-known and unknown stores.
It's a big event in the wizarding world.
"Mr. Bai, do you want to play in person?" Backstage at the auction, Minister of Magic Fudge said with a red face.
It's worth it, it's worth it in his life, even if he doesn't work as the Minister of Magic now, he can live for a long time.
"Yes, I need to play in person, otherwise I won't be able to control the field." White Night said, dangling with a strange black skull mask in his hand.
"I've invited Albus Dumbledore, and he'll be coming." Fudge said.
Although there had been a Death Eater infestation recently, where Dumbledore was, those little cubs didn't dare to make a mistake.
"Even Dumbledore can't stop it." Bai Ye said, "Only if I play in person." β
As he spoke, he put on a black mask.
"And bring this?" Fudge asked.
How can an auctioneer at an auction wear a black skull mask?
"Yes, it's all said that it's a town, of course, it has to be a little higher." White Night's voice didn't change, just looked at Fudge with a black mask.
There was a hint of inexplicable weirdness.
"Then I'll go first." Fudge said, standing up.
He is both the organizer of the auction and the person who participates in it.
After making so much money and not spending it, what is the difference between it and waste paper?
Moreover, he also has to greet the arrival of some more noble pure-blood wizards at the door.
Soon, there were many people seated in the venue.
Only the VIP seats at the front are still empty, and the seats at the back are almost full.
The white-bearded, white-haired grandfather Dumbledore also appeared, accompanied by the Minister of Magic, Fudge, to make it to the VIP seating area.
However, the old man's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked a little absent-minded.
There are still two minutes left before the auction officially begins.
It's just that there is one more vacant seat in the VIP seat, and a few vacant standing seats.
It seems that there is still a big man who has not arrived.
Many wizards couldn't help but wonder, who else hadn't arrived?
At this moment, there was a burst of exclamations at the door.
"You guys!"
"Death Eatersβ"
A group of black-clad and black-robed Death Eaters with "I'm a bad guy" written on their faces walked in with such a swagger.
The leader is a tall woman, who looks quite good, but the evil aura between the eyebrows and eyes in her eyes is extremely heavy, which is terrifying.
"You!"
Dumbledore's face changed, and he already had a wand in his hand.
Seeing that Dumbledore had this reaction, the rest of the wizards were also busy pulling out their wands.
Who is that woman?
When did the Death Eaters have an extra wizard that even Dumbledore had to be nervous and cautious about?
Is the British wizarding world coming to an end?
In any case, as a wizard, it is a basic quality to have a wand in hand regardless of the first thing you can do.
Voldemort, who was at the front, stopped, and the Death Eaters behind him stopped in unison.
"Long time no see, I'm back, Headmaster." Voldemort looked at Dumbledore and spoke.
"I didn't expect you to come back." Dumbledore said, "Voldemort. β
directly pointed out the identity of this woman.
"What?"
"That person?"
"It's that person!"
"Why a woman!"
The audience was in an uproar, even a wizard has a heart of gossip.
I didn't expect that person to come back and then become a woman, which is interesting.
All of a sudden, it didn't feel as scary as he once was.
Hearing the chatter around him, the evil aura in Voldemort's eyes became heavier, and he held his wand in his hand, and then poked it near his neck: "Quiet! β
The sound echoed through the hall like a bell.
There was even a wave of sound that made all the wizards shut their mouths.
"How did you come back to life and become what you are now?" Dumbledore was the only one who was completely unworthy of Voldemort and asked.
"Huh."
Voldemort sneered, ignoring Dumbledore's question.
Do you want him to say that he has been pitted by a profiteer called Bai Ye, and he can't tell if he suffers?
"Now that everyone is here, I declare that the auction is the beginning."
Just then, a voice rang out from the stage.
Many wizards looked back, and they didn't know when a person was already standing there.
Dressed in delicate black, with a black skull mask on his face, he was holding a small hammer in his hand and tapping lightly on the "auction counter" in front of him.
It looks like the identity of the auctioneer.
But how can any auctioneer wear a black mask!
"Please don't worry, this auction is hosted by the Ministry of Magic, and the official is responsible for it, don't worry about security, if something happens, you can go to the Ministry of Magic for compensation."
Hearing this, Fudge had 10,000 expletives to "confide" in Hakuya.
But he didn't even dare to get three steps away from Dumbledore.
What could be better than killing a famous man to announce the return of the Dark Lord?
Dumbledore wasn't that easy to kill.
But he wasn't as powerful as Dumbledore.
Fudge had no doubt that Voldemort would take him under his knife.
No wonder the guy in the white night said that he had to play in person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to control the scene.
But even if he plays in person, how can he stop the field?
Even Dumbledore couldn't suppress Voldemort, so he could only be jealous.
"This auction is based on the principle of 'sell without class' and does not exclude the arrival of Death Eaters, as long as they are quiet on the spot and do what a qualified bidder should do." Bai Ye stood on the stage and talked eloquently, "I won't deprive them of the right to participate in the auction." β
"Of course, everyone is the same."
"What about the auction? The most important thing is, of course, a little more people, the price - no, everyone is happy. β
"Then, Ah Fu hurry up and sit down, the auction has begun." Bai Ye said.
Voldemort did not move immediately, but looked at the white night.
Of course he recognized who this guy on the stage was.
"Why, do you want me to go down and invite you myself?" White Night's voice instantly became gloomy.
At this moment, everyone saw as if it were not a strange auctioneer with a black mask.
Instead, in the midst of the raging magma, a terrifying demon surrounded by black gas was slowly coming out.
The wizards who looked at the white night were in a trance.
"Not necessarily."
A second, maybe an hour?
Voldemort's voice came, freeing the wizards who were staring at the white night from the "hallucination", and a cold sweat broke out behind their backs.
What just happened?
Magic?
Or is it the real picture they see in a split second?
Dumbledore looked at the white night, and the solemnity and surprise in his eyes could not be concealed.
Of course, he recognized the auctioneer as his Hogwarts commissary, the merchant who had sold the Horcruxes to him, White Night.
He claimed to be a voter, saying that he wanted to join the fight against Voldemort.
He also invited him to join the Order of the Phoenix.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, this thing was actually related to Voldemort.
Looking at the "eyebrows" of the two sides, it must have been an unknown transaction.
Dumbledore was almost certain that Voldemort's resurrection must have a part of the White Night.
The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient.
Today's young people are so shameless!
said that he would cooperate with his side, but he didn't expect to trade with Voldemort again.
However, Dumbledore also saw that Voldemort did not trust White Night, on the contrary, he was very jealous of White Night.
The two are not close friends and trade relationships.
More like a profiteer cheating an honest man?
Dumbledore nodded slightly, yes, it was as if the White Night had tricked him, and the White Night had also trickled Voldemort.
As a wise old man, Dumbledore's guess was "ninety minus one is not far from ten".
The situation on the field is actually not too bad.
Seeing that Dumbledore, who was like a needle in the sea, calmly sat down again, and Voldemort also sat down obediently.
The wizards sat down with all sorts of complicated emotions.
"Huh-"
Bai Ye chuckled, "You don't have to be nervous, our auction is just, fair, and open by the official." β
"I really don't have to worry about safety, everyone just needs to spend money openly, enjoy spending money, and enjoy the fun of 'I'm a local tyrant, spending money like dirt'."
"If anyone wants to make trouble, this auction will not be welcome, and they will be expelled from the auction, so be sure to give everyone a harmonious place to spend money."
"Again, the official is responsible for the blame and has strong strength."
Listening to Hakuya's words, many wizards set their eyes on Fudge.
Fudge was eager to shrink his body into Dumbledore's body.
"Alright, then I announce that this auction has officially begun!"
"Below is the first auction item, provided by the XXX store......" Hakuya slammed the hammer.
The auction has finally begun in an orderly manner.
After several rounds of auctions with almost no bids, the atmosphere gradually began to heat up.
The wizards found out that Voldemort and the Death Eaters really seemed to be coming to the auction and not making a fuss!
Eventually, a bold wizard with a vendetta against the Death Eaters began to compete with one of the Death Eaters on a commodity.
The Death Eater didn't make a move, just made a threatening neck wipe.
Unexpectedly, ten seconds later, a white-haired boy rushed out and pressed the Death Eater to the ground and beat him for five minutes in full view of everyone.
Exactly five minutes!
Voldemort and the Death Eaters beside him had hideous faces, but they didn't stop the move.
Five minutes later, the white-haired boy called a shaky wizard and cured the Death Eater and told him to get back on his feet and continue bidding.
Then he ran away with a puff of smoke.
"As I have already said, this auction is based on the principles of justice, fairness and openness, and absolutely does not allow such threats."
Bai Ye said, "If you are really awesome, please take the money to smash it, and smash it so that the other party calls Dad, which is the behavior allowed in this auction." β
"The threat of force is strictly forbidden and punished."
"It's the first offense, so this Death Eater kid is still eligible to continue to participate in the auction, do you support this decision?"
"Good!"
How can anyone not support this decision.
Many wealthy wizards immediately applauded.
Death Eaters, Daddy took the money to punch you in the face!
