Chapter 537: The Old Man (200 Monthly Passes)

"I finally found you, you actually hid in this place!"

"Barbara, be quiet, this is the library. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Zhao Mai put his finger in front of his lips and motioned for her to sit down first.

"Hmph, you're so laid-back, hiding here with your dog and maid. Barbara still lowered her voice and sat down obediently, and the reserve food got up from under Zhao Mai's feet, rubbing and tickling her legs, and Barbara grabbed its ears.

"This is the forbidden book area, how did you get in?" Zhao Mai looked at Barbara a little strangely.

"I've searched all over Hogwarts, and to be honest, if I don't have one, I'm going to visit the Forbidden Forest. Barbara waved her hand magnificently, pointed around and said, "I could have come here, don't forget that our family is engaged in alchemy, and many things are forbidden books at Hogwarts, and I have written one of them myself...... part. It's you, why didn't you do what you promised?"

"What did I promise you? do you mean winning the championship?" Zhao Mai was stunned for a moment, suddenly stretched out his hand and put it on Barbara's forehead, probed it with his psychic ability and said, "It's strange, no one has ever done anything about it!"

"It's you who do it!" Barbara moved her head away and slapped Zhao Mai's wrist, causing her palm to hurt terribly. "Oops, do you have iron bracers in your sleeves, why are you so hard?!"

"yes, don't beat me, you might be the one who hurts. Zhao Mai smiled, and then suddenly realized: "Oh...... You made me win, I thought you were just going to let me make sure Hogwarts won the championship!"

"Stupid, who would have thought you'd let Jebel win the championship instead of shooting it yourself!" Barbara rubbed her swollen wrist and said, "Jebel is from Gryffindor, and it is estimated that their house will be the champion of the house this year......"

"You value the House Cup so much? It's not a good thing, it's just that the flag and clothes are prettier, and you have priority access to the academy facilities. The competition for potions classrooms is fiercest, but there is no shortage of potions practice opportunities in your family, right?"

"You haven't won the Academy Cup, why do you say that the Academy Cup is not good? This is not right! In short, my original chance to win the championship was lost by you, and you have to pay for it!" Barbara sat opposite Zhao Mai with her cheeks in tow, her big eyes flickering and blinking, with an expression of "you look at it".

"There is some truth in what you said, and I have a saying there that also means this, if you can't eat grapes, you can say that grapes are sour. Zhao Mai nodded and said, "But I can't do anything now, Professor Dumbledore asked me to keep a low profile, so I came here to read by the way." Do you have any great ideas?"

"Oh...... I've heard some rumors from my family that the trouble you caused this time was quite big, and even my grandfather couldn't handle it. He also asked me to bring you a word to beware of things about Atlantis. But what you do is within the rules, what can the Ministry of Magic do to you? Even if Hogwarts doesn't want you, you can go to our house! In the wizarding world, our family doesn't have to be worse than Hogwarts. Barbara puffed out her cheeks and blushed slightly.

"Barbara, do you know how old I am? You should be with someone your age rather than me...... Uh, Dogian, how old am I?"

"According to the chronology there, you should be nine thousand nine hundred years old. Duo Jian said with a serious expression.

Zhao Mai squinted his eyes, knowing that Duo Ji'an was teasing himself. Her neural assistance network includes all sorts of books like "Five Thousand Years Up and Down," and basically she reads when she sits still, and no one knows exactly which books she reads and how many she reads.

"I'm not surnamed Wei, and I'm not as exaggerated as nine thousand nine hundred years old, but I'm not too young. Zhao Mai said to Barbara: "Don't you think I'm dull? Why don't you go to other classmates and friends, but ......?"

"No, I know what you're hiding, I can feel it. Barbara pointed to her nose, "I can sniff out your secrets, so you're not dull." You're obviously a hidden volcano, and if it erupts, it's going to be spectacular, and even what happened to Atlantis this time is really just a little bubbling steam. Don't you know that girls like mysterious things?"

Zhao Mai looked at Barbara, a little speechless in his heart, he didn't know what to say about her for a while, did he still want to scold her and make her completely sad and painful?" "There are some things you should listen to the elderly, even if you don't want to listen to me, ask your grandfather more, I think he is still very knowledgeable." ”

"Ah, when it comes to grandpa, there's one more thing I forgot to mention. I've heard the news that the Ministry of Magic is going to reward those who participate in the Young Wizards Tournament, and Jefferies is definitely going to win the prize, but you're also going to be included. However, this time it will be the Ministry of Magic that will call the two of you over and convene a magic council to decide. It is a pity that the process of the conference will be closed, and there will be no award ceremonies, celebrations and the like. As you said, this tournament is destined to be handled in a low-key manner. ”

"Hey, you've always heard this, you've heard that...... How can you hear so much about it?"

Barbara blushed, laughed twice, and then lowered her voice and said, "We have our own Muggle newspaper and have shares in major newspapers in various magical countries, such as the Daily Prophet, so I'm better informed. I'm not one of those spies who like to go around asking for news, don't get me wrong. ”

An idea appeared in Zhao Mai's mind. After the 21st century, it is undoubtedly the era of the Internet, and various client media and self-media have become the largest news distribution center, and even the forgetting curse was initially exploded through this means. But the precursors of all this were paper media, in 1919 it was newspapers, radios, and now even television has not been invented.

Influence...... Isn't this a ready-made method? Who else knows better than Zhao Mai -- or Doji'an -- what will happen next? If he starts a newspaper and embarks on the road of the media, won't his influence be slowly established? Considering the different ways in which various countries control the media, Zhao Mai may need to control it covertly, but this is exactly what he needs to keep a low profile. This will definitely be more expensive, but then again, on the earth where the gold and silver standards are practiced, Zhao Mai has too many means to create wealth.

"Barbara, your current pocket money, the family still doesn't give it, right?"

"yes, but what do you want to do? I'm not going to do anything for money!" said Barbara.

"I suddenly had an idea," Zhao Mai said with a smile, "Are you interested in a magic experiment used to practice and verify prophecy spells?"

"Really, but your smile is weird......"
