A delicately carved silver bowl filled with boiled potatoes, cabbage, and tomatoes looked like a mush, and with plenty of chili, curry powder, and coriander, without a hint of meat, it looked like a bowl of unsightly mud. Although it smells fragrant, it is really not beautiful at all, and people can't have much appetite.

However, in the face of such a bowl of muddy vegetables, the leader of the delegation of the Indian Paranormal Agency, the wealthy and noble son Barram, ate very deliciously.

――It still felt a little off, but in his opinion, it was a bit like India, and he could barely eat it. At least it's much better than the blood-stained, half-cooked pork cutlets – the uninformed English, who seem to think that Indians have the opposite of Arabic preferences, and desperately add pork to every dish...... Don't they know that the noble brahmins are vegetarians?

As he thought so, he tore another piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth with the mushy vegetables in the bowl, not forgetting to drink his wine.

In general, there is such a characteristic in India, no matter what you cook, you have to grind it into a paste, add a lot of curry powder, and then pair it with rice and cakes as the main food. Some people have summed up one of the characteristics of Indian cuisine: yellow, rotten, thick, spicy - whether it is a frightening expensive dish in a high-end restaurant or the simplest snack of ordinary people on the street, these characteristics seem to be inseparable.

In the eyes of foreigners, it doesn't matter what kind of Indian food it is. It all looked like a puddle of mud, and the rich and the poor seemed to eat the same thing—of course, the Indians themselves would be able to tell the difference. It's a pity that most laymen can't understand it.

Although it may seem strange to foreigners, Indians are clearly not mud-loving perverts, and in fact, a country's food habits are a reflection of a country's culture and national character. The reason why Indians like to burn their dishes to a mushful has a lot to do with the climate of India - due to its tropical location, most parts of India are hot all year round, and the locals cook the dishes in pressure cookers until they are cooked until they are done. It is mushy and can be stored for a longer period of time. Indians often cook a lot of this dish at once, in addition to enough food for their own family for a few weeks. It should also be canned and bottled for friends and family. In addition, Indians prefer to eat pilaf with their hands, and mushy dishes are obviously easier to mix with dough and rice.

Moreover, Indians use a lot of spices to cook. The most commonly used spices alone are chili pepper, black mustard seed, cumin, turmeric, fenugreek, anise, ginger, coriander, and garlic, to name a few. On average, there are no less than a dozen spices in an Indian dish. They believe that dishes can only absorb the flavors of spices when they are fully boiled, and that it is difficult for them to absorb the flavor when stir-fried quickly. Although the mushy dish is ugly, it is the easiest form of cooking to combine so many spices evenly, comprehensively and thoroughly with various ingredients.

Therefore, the head of Ballam, who has eaten mushy dishes for almost his whole life, can only be happy with such mushy dishes.

After finally eating and drinking, the head of the regiment sat back on a small sofa contentedly again, with a blonde and blue-eyed Ukrainian call girl in his arms, and a hot Latin American girl next to him. There are also several beauties with different styles gathered around. Occasionally, he was pinched by Ballam's groping pig hand and let out a pretended coquettish ...... Let the self-proclaimed love saint Ballam be excited.

Just like that, I took a break for a while. After drinking another half bottle of blueberry liqueur and smoking a few new Hogwarts cigarettes, Ballam felt that he couldn't hold back the turmoil in his heart, so he picked up a gap and secretly checked his personal pocket, "...... Uh, aphrodisiac perfumes, diamond rings, platinum necklaces, credit cards, um, and viagra pills, everything you need for a date. ”

-- Nowadays, it is no longer fashionable to only give jewelry when soaking women, because all kinds of high-end counterfeit products emerge in an endless stream, and there are many rich people who do not have the lower limit of the show. After all, not every girl is proficient in jewelry appreciation. In order to be more concise and quick, it is better to give the gold card directly to please the girls - when it comes to money, Westerners are not as subtle as Orientals.

In today's materialistic age, the things that can really push Shijie to spin are always money, money, and more money.

Seeing that they were ready together, Mr. Balram whistled quietly and stood up with the two girls in his arms, ready to spend a beautiful evening with them. And the rest of the Indian delegation, each holding the girl he liked, was full of ugliness, and almost did not prostitute himself in public - if it was in India, it would be nothing to be so promiscuous, but since it was in England, they had to restrain a little.

It's just a little strange to Mr. Ballam that the British Minister of Magic, David Brown, who was originally accompanying him, was the Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom. Potter and Harry, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic. Gordon, all gone. And the representatives of other countries who went to the banquet, and the guys who are still staying in the banquet hall are already very few, and I don't know if they are too drunk to be helped down to rest, or are they jealous of the success of the Indian delegation's bidding and left early?

Therefore, the banquet hall of Hogwarts Castle Hall is actually a little empty at the moment, except for the waiters and bands in the restaurant, the large number of people in the Indian delegation, and the dozens of beautiful call girls that the British Ministry of Magic deliberately recruited from London, there are not many people left.

However, these doubts were only slightly turned in Mr. Ballam's alcohol- and marijuana-soaked mind, and he did not hesitate to leave it behind: hmph, it's better to go, so that when you get up "hi" later, there are uninteresting guys next to you......

――As for the International Cooperation and Development Conference of Ancient Egypt held in Hogsmeade Village at this time, led by the Chinese Paranormal Circle, the delegations of other countries living in the same village have more or less gotten some rumors, and they are eager to try to get some benefits from it, at least to find out some news. There was only one Indian delegation living in the castle. On the one hand, he had little contact with other delegations, and on the other hand, he was arrested by Harry. Permanent Undersecretary Gordon made arrangements to deliberately block the information. So until this time, Ballam and his fox friends were still kept in the dark.

As for this Harry. Permanent Undersecretary Gordon, Weishenme wants to do this to the Indian delegation...... Well, we'll know what follows.

However, no sooner had Balram said hello to his fox friends than he walked to the door of the hall with the two girls in his arms, when he suddenly heard a loud roar outside. Even the castle's solid walls began to tremble, and dust fell from the ceiling. In the face of such a sudden change, the music in the hall suddenly stopped. Everyone looked around in amazement, looking around for the source of the sound.

Balram was also shocked, and quickly let go of the two girls in his arms. Pull past the nearest waiter. Ask him what the hell is going on.

“…… Sorry sir, I don't know what's going on. The waiter was also confused, but reluctantly explained, "...... Sir, please don't panic yet, it may be that the midnight salute arranged by the castle is early, so I'll call and ask......"

It's a pity. He couldn't say any more, because it was in the next moment. Another violent explosion sounded just a stone's throw away!

The power of the explosion was so terrifying that the entire wall of the ballroom collapsed. All of a sudden, the large stones on the table were splashed everywhere along with shards of cutlery, glass, and furniture, smashing the crowd with flesh and blood. The holographic projector on the roof also shook and smashed down, causing the unlucky ghosts who unfortunately ran into them to break their skin, and even break their tendons.

And the hapless Mr. Ballam, because his back was against the wall, was buried alive under the collapsed wall along with the waiter who was being held by him for questioning. And a call girl standing a little farther away, the fate was even worse, only to see a huge bronze head fall from the wall high, hit her head, white Huahua's brain and red blood suddenly scattered together, which can be called a tragic death.

After the explosion, there was a brief silence in the hall, followed by hysterical shrill howls. Those who were lucky enough to survive raised their heads from the rubble, and immediately saw in horror the tragic scene of corpses everywhere with the help of flickering emergency lights. Some people hurriedly took out their mobile phones to call the police, but they were even more horrified to find that the radio signal here was actually interfered with......

Before their frightened minds could sort out the current situation, the most desperate state of affairs appeared before the eyes of these people.

-- With a crackling sound, all the remaining glass windows around the banquet hall were shattered, and dozens of soldiers wearing body armor and armed with automatic rifles jumped into the hall with ropes and quickly occupied various points. Another group of wizards in black robes and pointed hats, along with several soldiers with loaded guns, appeared in the blasted wall, pointing their wands and muzzles coldly at the surviving people.

The next moment, scanning the dusty and messy banquet hall, Sir Roderick, with a hideous face, first waved his wand and cast a spatial interference spell to block the enemy's escape with teleportation magic, and then reached out and slashed hard, signaling the commandos to fire with all their might.

“…… Go to hell! Harry! ”

With Sir Roderick's roar, the bullets of the automatic rifle rained down like a torrential rain, quickly splashing countless tiny blood splashes. The wizards in black robes and pointed hats also raised their wands and shot vicious death curses at those who tried to escape.

The feast and ball at Hogwarts Castle finally came to an end in blood, and hundreds of lives were lost at the same moment.

However, a more fierce and large-scale bloody battle has only just begun at this time.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At the same time, at the "Three Broomsticks" bar venue in Hogsmeade Village, about two kilometers away from the castle, Wang Qiu had already introduced the political and military situation on the other side of the wormhole, and focused on explaining the various difficulties he encountered when he wanted to further expand interdimensional trade, and it was the turn of the parties who wanted to join to show their cards and capital, and entered the stage of competing for chips.

Among the many potential partners to work with, the strength of the Vampire Hunter Association is undoubted. Not only do they control all nine vampires in this Shijie, but they also have more than 3,000 regular members of the organization and more than 20,000 peripheral personnel. Minus vampires. Among the regular vampire hunters, there are about 2,000 people who can resist space radiation and can be transported to the opposite side of the wormhole by Wang Qiu to act as the labor force and pioneer of the development of the other world, and the remaining those who cannot pass through the wormhole can also use their connections and business networks to help sell other world goods at a higher price.

But the Druid Society of Scotland was not to be outdone. Although their numbers are small, with the addition of their Irish and Welsh counterparts, they can always piece together more than 800 people. What's more. As druids with natural affinities with animals and plants, they have a very good accomplishment in agriculture and animal husbandry, at least they can use them to promote new agricultural and animal husbandry jishu in ancient times, or create some "miracles" to maintain their rule.

The hairy werewolves of Russia. It has long been an old friend and an old relationship with the Chinese Paranormal Organization. When it came time to fight and kill, the Chinese chengguan would not forget them - but only after Queen Cleopatra had led her army out of Egypt and set up camp in some cool place. Otherwise, these fluffy guys would not have waited for a war at all, and they would have dizzy and sunstroke one by one under the scorching sun of the Egyptian desert.

Well, the situation of the druids is actually similar, but better than the werewolves. Fat bears like the Great Druiverne are naturally just as intolerant to heat. But. It is said that those eagle druids are more heat-resistant, and can not only replace drones in the Atlas to detect enemy situations. You can also transform into a public appearance at a religious ceremony in Egypt and make a cameo appearance as the Supreme God of Horus (the eagle god) to enhance the prestige and ruling power of Queen Cleopatra.

Although the former Prime Minister Kotori Yu Mahaku insisted on intervening, he couldn't get any bargaining chips in human resources, because there were only a few people in Japan in total, and they were not enough. In case of a year when the old supernatural person retires and the new supernatural person has not yet appeared, you have to often ask the Chinese side for help if there is something - otherwise how do you think the chengguan office in Japan where Wang Yao worked came from?

However, the transcendent version of Queen Cleopatra that caused this wormhole is the Japanese shrine maiden Sanae Rika, so it is impossible to bypass the threshold of the Japanese side in terms of law and reason. On the other hand, Kotori Yu Mashiro also agreed to use his power to try to collect some monsters such as Snow Maiden and Kitsune in Japan to see if they could pass through the wormhole - which is barely a bargaining chip.

In addition, Kotori Yu Mashiro herself is also a very powerful magical girl, with the powerful magic eye of the "Evil King's True Eye". If she can be allowed to join in and try to control the thoughts of some important people in Yishijie, then it will be much easier for Wang Qiu and them to do things.

In fact, even other abnormal units in China coveted this "cornucopia" of the Chengguan Dogtooth International Column, and they really wanted to make a fortune with Wang Qiu and them. Unfortunately, the problem lies in the fact that cooperation between different units in China is sometimes even more troublesome than international cooperation, because there are a bunch of "mothers-in-law" at the head of each unit who are not only unwilling to work honestly, but also want to share the benefits with a slanderous face, and they will toss half to death just by asking for instructions and stamps. Moreover, they usually have their own tasks, and it is impossible to put aside the things in their positions and slack off, but they do not take care of the small treasury properly.

Relatively speaking, Wang Qiu and the other temporary workers and interns are much freer - there is no way, if you give people the treatment of interns and temporary workers, but expect the other party to do the work of special forces, then don't blame others for leaving their own work behind, and at the same time concentrate on private work.

All in all, there is loyalty to pay a high salary, there is loyalty to pay a basic salary, and there is loyalty to not giving money.

To get back to the point, when it was the turn of the British Ministry of Magic, or the "Association for the Management of British Castles and Monuments", many of you were waiting to see the joke - the circle of the supernatural world is only so big, and many people know that Harry, the permanent undersecretary who holds the real power of the Ministry. Gordon had just dismissed all the wizards except himself in order to support a group of civil secretaries in the department, and the druids of Scotland were no longer under his jurisdiction...... Was he going to leave behind the comfort of his office in Whitehall in London and go to ancient Egypt to work as an overseas labourer?

Who knew that Harry still had a batch of chips in his hand - I saw that he immediately pulled out twelve Indian "goddesses" who had just exchanged the deeds of sale, claiming that these were the support personnel that the British Ministry of Magic was going to send! On the spot, many people dropped their glasses.

Moreover, the Hindu goddesses who were sold to England, although of low status, were not ignorant and illiterate, but "export products" carefully trained in Mr. Ballam's home, not only fluent in English, but also able to operate computers, and even trained in pistol shooting...... Wang Qiu thought about it and felt that these goddesses could at least be sent to the temples of ancient Egypt to create "miracles" with electronic devices, so he reluctantly accepted them.

Next, just as everyone began to discuss the profit distribution plan, a burst of gunfire like beans suddenly pierced the silent night sky and interrupted everyone's conversation. Before they could react to the mutation, they saw a black man covered in blood drive a small pickup truck full of bullet holes, staggered into the door of the bar, and then stumbled and rolled down, grinning loudly:

“…… Help me! Help me! There are soldiers killing people! (To be continued......)
