Chapter Seventy-Three: Arbus's Worries

Kane used the phrase 'the second half of the wizarding war' to make Dumbledore speechless.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, Dumbledore did this, otherwise he wouldn't have so many layouts.

So he doesn't feel the change in the situation?

How can it be?

The pressure on him is increasing day by day, and it has increased dramatically in the past six months.

The mountain rain is coming, how will he deal with it?

When he came to visit the Shafiq family this time, he did not have the intention of seeking favors.

He knew that something was going on for the Shafiq family. At this time, his old face and his combat power can still play a good value. If he takes a clear stance and stands behind the Shafiq family, then it can deter some people.

came to get this favor, just so that many people have a way out.

Assuming that the Ministry of Magic, the school director, uses various names to control him, then the normal operation of the Order of the Phoenix, and even Hogwarts, may depend on the full support of the Shafiq family.

The Shafiq family is brave and good at success.

Dumbledore was a little impressed by this. He stood on the clock tower at Hogwarts, watching Fir Hill rise from the ground across the lake.

Rock Reinforcement, Defensive Magic Array, Magic Building Materials, Super Magic Magnetic Shield, Eternal Mist...... Behind the seemingly luxurious and luxurious beauty, there is a solid and strict fight.

In comparison, Hogwarts seems too big to be right.

There are many opinions as to why the Shafiq family spared no expense to build this settlement, but today, Kane is almost clear.

In response to the upcoming second half of the Wizarding Wars.

The Shafiq family implements their own philosophy, is proactive, and does a good job, so what about him?

He felt that he was not good at making money, but he was very good at spending money. Not good at being an official, but proficient in power.

He is not greedy for money and power, but there are too many things that he is not worried about leaving to others to do.

He now just wants to try to keep the Order of the Phoenix alive.

He hoped that this credible and courageous team of justice would, as always, have a restraining effect on the Death Eaters and make them act with scruples.

He clearly remembered the situation in the British wizarding world in the first few years of Voldemort's rise.

Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere, and Voldemort wasn't crazy at the time. Cautiously, rather tentatively, he made waves with the Death Eaters.

The wizards chose to protect themselves, unwilling or afraid to come forward to fight against them, and the Death Eaters quickly gained momentum.

A power of checks and balances, reliable allies.

There is no money, but it needs money to operate, and there is not much power, but it needs power to operate.

Trembling, walking on thin ice. Dumbledore was tired from all these years of juggling between all kinds of people.

And the Shafiq family, like the dawn, has added a bright brilliance to the obscure atmosphere since the past few years, and like the sun slowly rising on the horizon, the brilliance is gradually increasing, which is impossible to ignore.

To put it mildly, the Shafiq family is rich and influential, and if the Shafiq family stops supplying black hemp to English wizards at a discounted price, most ordinary wizards will have their annual income cut in half, or even more.

Just rush this, who dares to say that the Shafiq family does not have enough right to speak?

What's more, Shafiq has interests with the Ministry of Magic and many wizards in France, Germany, the United States, and China, and is a guest of honor at the International Federation of Magic.

Therefore, the Shafiq family has long been a behemoth that people look up to, and only those 'villagers' who have buried their heads half-buried in the sand still think that the Shafiq family is like that.

Dumbledore once went to the Magical Congress of the United States, and when a strange wizard greeted him, he asked, "Who are you from Catherine Shafiq?"

Just this sentence is very revealing.

You don't know who the chief wizard of this Wizengamot is and who the president of the Magic Congress is, but you can't know about Hemp and the Shafiq family in the English wizarding world.

Catherine's popularity outside the UK surpasses that of the Queen of England!

Most people just know that the Queen of England is an old woman, but Catherine is like a superstar in Hollywood, and many people can tell a lot of statistics.

It is precisely because the MONOCULUS is already a multinational group and is well-known overseas that it is so rich.

Many wizards who were only staring at that small place in Britain were still dialing their little abacus, and then said: "The Shafiq family sells 7 percent of the annual output of demon tears and black hemp at external cost price, and the remaining 3 percent are mostly sold to domestic wizards at a flat price, but they can still be so rich, there must be ghosts here, either the so-called cost price and cheap water, or the output is greasy." ”

People use magic tears and black hemp as stepping stones, and after prying open the market, they can make money with other products. There are more than 40 kinds of special potions alone! When a brand is established, its series of products will continue to create value, and the of the Demon Eye Chamber of Commerce brand is now fragrant, only staring at black hemp, it can be said that it has been short-sighted to almost blind.

It was precisely because he knew that the Shafiq family had built themselves into a giant ship and was developing in the direction of a super-dreadnought battleship, that he held his ground.

Even if Voldemort rises, that is, he occupies the mountain as the king, and with his pattern of power, he definitely wants to rule the world too much.

But if the Shafiq family is evil, tsk! Just the act of relocation and evacuation can bring the British wizards back to life like standing guard on the heights of the stock. There were no steps, and he fell to his death.

This is what a wizard from a Muggle family who understands economics helped Dumbledore analyze and let him understand.

Therefore, he tossed and turned all night, and then faced this unexpected incident with a high tolerance heart.

He was even mentally prepared that the real person behind the Shafiq family was actually a dark person.

It turned out to be much better than expected.

Then Dumbledore couldn't help but start a new round of gains and losses, afraid that Kane would be pushed and pulled to the evil side.

Pulling this action can be understood, who does the push represent?

On behalf of those who do bad things with good intentions, those who want to be dissatisfied and make mistakes for a while, those who are extremely decent and do not understand the truth of harmony with light and dust, and those who pretend to be ordinary wizards with evil intentions and incite people who do not know what to do...... Wait a minute.

These people, who can be broadly defined as good people, are often the most hurtful.

The thief took a bite and went into the bone for three points. This thief refers to a friend on the surface, who calls him a brother on weekdays.

There is a similar folk proverb in England, but it is not so vivid.

Dumbledore understood this, and heard rumors that the Shafiq family used English wizarding techniques to flatter foreigners and criticize their own people......

After seeing Kane's style of acting, he was not worried that Kane would be angered by such remarks, Kane obviously had the wisdom and strength to know what was going on behind the scenes.

He began to worry that Kane's darker style would cause a storm of bloodshed or create a large number of frightening mysterious disappearances. Voldemort's uprising began with the inexplicable disappearance of the wizard, and people started to have a psychological shadow on it.

"Well, there's one more thing to worry about. Dumbledore sighed to himself.

Of course, sighing is not enough, Kane is obviously negotiating terms with him.

He realizes that Kane understands the purpose of his invitation to participate in the time journey, and does not mind deepening their understanding through this shared event. However, since he took the initiative to mention it, Kane took the opportunity to say some plans for the future, which can be regarded as a kind of foreshadowing, so as not to be too abrupt and unable to get off the stage.

He could even think that what Kane was going to do was probably not only to strengthen the teaching intensity in the field of warfare, but also to do something else.

Dumbledore thought quickly and carefully, he knew that some words, once discussed in detail, would have far-reaching consequences.

Although now they are talking while walking, and the atmosphere of the conversation is also very relaxed, he and Kane are not idle nonsense, but make decisions, and they will implicate deep and wide business. Even, being willing to talk about it in detail, or changing the topic to reveal it, is a deeply influential statement.

After taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Shafiq, what do you want to do at Hogwarts?"
