Chapter 165: Turmoil

Luke is about to embark on a new trick at the blacksmith shop on Garnilon Avenue. Beyond Boulevard Garnilon, the entire French wizarding world is in a mess.

Ministry of Magic, Auror Office

"What the hell are you doing?! Go find someone! Sava Schmidt, the owner of the Aurors' office, couldn't help but let out an angry roar as he looked at the Aurors who were still chattering and arguing in the office.

The Aurors were startled by the boss's anger, but after a moment of coming back to their senses, a tall Auror stubbornly stood up and said, "It stands to reason that Team Leader Mandy Ellis should be on duty today, but he has temporarily taken a leave of absence today. The previous field service was to hire Team Leader Rudy Shipley to substitute for the shift. But now it's a field officer, and it stands to reason that we should have someone else to lead the team, so we're talking about who would be better to lead the team......" Sava Schmidt listened to the bruises in his head.

He looked at the group of people in front of him and roared angrily: "I'll personally lead the team now!" Assemble everyone for me! Hearing his order, the first reaction of the Aurors present was not to immediately stand up and assemble, but to look at a female Auror, and the female Auror reacted quickly, took out a form from his clearly classified pile of documents, and then trotted over and handed the form to his boss: "Boss, if you personally lead the team, you only need to stamp two stamps." ”

"But I'm afraid you have to cover these two chapters yourself, and we can't do it for you according to the regulations." Sava Schmidt looked at the table in front of him, and finally let out a feeble sigh.

…… Somewhere in a villa in the woods, Alice looked at the man in front of him who came to report to him, the expression on her face was as gloomy as water, and a pair of beautiful eyes turned sharp as a knife at this time, full of murderous intent.

"That's what you told me? That's what you've done???? Alice was really shocked and angry.

If Luke had simply come to France, things would not have been so much, but he didn't come to France by himself, he came to France with the news of the Philosopher's Stone, and maybe even the Philosopher's Stone itself.

Fortunately, he was accompanied by Dumbledore, which dispelled many people's thoughts. She had spoken to Dumbledore before, and it stands to reason that a normal invitation would have been accepted.

But Dumbledore suddenly separated from Luke, which made her men realize that if they didn't do it now, they would probably have to rescue their 'Highness' from the hands of others.

They still underestimated Luke's strength. The first wave of attackers barely made much of a fuss before Luke took it upon himself.

But her subordinates actually chose to knock Luke unconscious and bring him over...... This can indeed avoid a lot of trouble, and it can also prevent their hidden power from being directly exposed to the public's field of vision, turning from dark to light, and becoming a target.

It stands to reason that although this will make Luke unhappy for a while, as long as the use value is enough, Luke will not immediately turn his face and deny people.

But no one thought that there would be people who came out to stir up the situation, and this disturbance completely muddied the water.

"We've checked, no one in the Ministry of Magic has seen His Highness Luke, and the gloves on Ganillon Avenue don't have any information about His Highness Luke. We haven't seen it on our side. We don't know who kidnapped His Highness Luke! When the incompetent subordinate told Alice the bad news, Alice wanted to reward him with a life-threatening spell.

But not for the time being, it's hard to say whether he is rebellious or not, if it is rebellious, then there is a reason to be executed, but if it is pure incompetence......

"Maybe I'm being too you." Alice said with a cold face, in the man's desperate eyes: "Continue to look for someone, it's easy to say anything you find, if you can't find it...... Then you can stay in the back kitchen of the villa. The man looked at Alice, whose expression was getting colder and colder, and gradually returned to the familiar appearance in front of him, and replied with a shudder: "Yes, Lord Alice." ”

"Stand down." Alice waved her hand, and the man retreated as if fleeing. And after the man withdrew, Alice's brows furrowed slightly, her fingers twitched lightly on the table, the coldness on her face did not disappear, and behind her, the tall man who looked like a stone statue.

"Miss, the people here in France are indeed a little poor." It stands to reason that he shouldn't talk too much, but the current situation really doesn't allow him not to take the initiative to ask for his life.

Alice shook her head helplessly, and then said to the big man beside her: "Take our people all the way alone, pay attention to concealment, and investigate who else is looking for trouble with His Highness here besides us." ”

"Especially pay attention to the people on the French side...... Watch out for them, especially the Tin Man. Alice's expression was calm, but she could tell that she didn't trust the armor called Kidd, who couldn't figure out whether it was a human or something else.

Although her father told her to come over and take over that she could trust Kidd, at least everyone's ultimate goal was the same.

But Alice is not a little girl she has never seen before, on the contrary, she knows very well that the so-called means are different, and the goal is the same is just a boring word in itself.

People with the same goals tend to be more ruthless when dealing with people who have different methods than their own.

Because in the eyes of some people, it is important to achieve the goal, but how the goal is achieved and who achieves it is far more important than simply achieving the goal.

Unfortunately, Alice is such a process-oriented person. If you can't achieve the goal in her way, then there is no point in achieving that goal.

"Hopefully we won't get to this point." Dahan's voice was surprisingly soft.

"If we really get into infighting, Your Highness may be disappointed in us."

"Even if I really disappoint him, I can't keep people who don't trust him by his side." Alice's expression was quite determined,

"I have recognized his ability as a sovereign, so I will not allow anyone around me who does not trust him until I have formal contact with him." A hideous smile appeared on the face of the big man beside him.

"Go, Arthur...... Find His Highness Luke and bring him to me. The coldness on Alice's face finally melted away, and finally she folded her hands and dragged her chin with a smile on her face: "I also want to meet this 'pen pal' of mine." Of course, if Luke heard this, he would definitely refute it.

He didn't reply, so he wasn't a pen pal. As for why not reply...... Damn, there's no reply address at all!

The owl threw down the letter again and ran away...... [To tell the truth, I have been chasing more recently, switching sources, reading more timbres, .yeguoyuedu, Android, and Apple.

Arthur shook his head, then silently walked out of the room. He looked at the six black-robed wizards guarding the door, and then said, "Let's go." The six wizards behind him held their wands straight on their chests and their other hands behind their backs.

"Yes!" …… The suburban man lit the tenth bonfire in front of him and threw the flint in his hand aside.

Glancing at his watch, he nodded, then drew his wand.

"Round table." The flames in the bonfire rose and fell in an instant, and then the color began to change, and in it, a figure of flames appeared.

"Come on, everyone, discuss a charter, there is no point in a group of you looking for me back and forth, either you reach an agreement now, or the one with the highest price will get it." The man sat on the stump and said with a gentle smile on his face.

None of the figures on the ten campfires other than him had an accurate face in sight. But men believe that even if their faces are revealed, they are all masks.

Treat every magic that might reveal your identity as a magic that would definitely reveal your identity.

This is also the principle that dark wizards, and most nobles, will follow when doing dirty things.

It is said that the Muggle world also has a saying, 'Treat every microphone as if it were on.' I don't know what a microphone is, but it's a ...... that wizards understood hundreds of years ago, and Muggles had to know it at this time Ha!

When a man has this kind of meeting, he habitually wanders, because he knows that the fight will last for a long time.

But he didn't care about these so-called processes and discussions. All he wanted was results. Mission requirements, deadlines, delivery locations, as long as these three pieces of information can be given, then he doesn't care whether they reach a consensus by arguing or fighting.

But this time, his customers were destined to be more efficient than he expected.

"The first requirement is to ensure Luke Gaunt's safety. This is the most important thing. The figure sitting across from Kevin let out a low, hoarse voice that made it unrecognizable.

The man listened to this request and nodded, but after waiting for three or five seconds, he did not hear any rebuttal.

So he looked up in some surprise. It was found that all ten customers were looking at him.

"Kevin Levins. Our first request, to keep Luke Gaunt safe, do you hear me? Kevin looked at them as if he had seen something very new.

"Okay, no problem." So all ten customers nodded. So the next process went back to Kevin's familiar look.

Quarrels, debates, persuasions, compromises...... Finally, after 30 minutes, they agreed on two more demands.

"Luke Gaunt's belongings must be preserved and not taken by anyone else."

"After finding Luke Gaunt, bring him here, and someone will take over." None of these requests exceeded Kevin Levins' expectations, so he waved his hand impatiently with a smile on his face and said, "Then I'll go to the contact to do something." After saying that, he didn't say much, snapped his fingers, and left the place with a shapeshifter.

And after he left, the ten figures on the other side did not disperse immediately, but fell silent.

After a long time, someone finally snorted coldly: "A dog, how dare you be rude to us so much?" ”

"A fierce dog is a good dog, haven't you hunted for a long time, have you forgotten this kind of thing?" The lazy voice sounded devoid of spirit, but the contempt in it was undisguised.

"But when the dog barks at you, you have to think about whether or not you're going to break the dog's teeth." The other said in a surging tone.

"I can't say that, if I really break the dog's teeth, I have to wait for him to bring the rabbit back." Hahaha! The man here let out a brisk laugh, as if he had told some funny joke.

"Okay, let's disperse, everyone can still use this dog." The man who had sat across from Kevin spoke up again, interrupting the laughter.

"He's just a pair of gloves, and when the gloves are so dirty that they get his hands dirty, just throw them in the fire." …… Gibson stared at Luke with big eyes and shouted in a rough voice, "If you really have a way, then tell me!" All I have to do is build this sword, and you can do whatever I want!" ”

"I just hit you with a hammer, it's my fault, I admit my mistake, okay?" The old man's neck was like the great sword, as if it were made of iron.

Even when he begged Luke for mercy, he was holding his neck and glaring, and what he said was not like begging for mercy, but more like a threat.

Luke looked at the old man in front of him and knew that he was really giving in, because he said that he had a solution to the problem.

This, of course, was the last straw for Gibson. Even if Luke's solution was to use a whole piece of the Philosopher's Stone, as long as he could get his hands on it, Gibson would admit it.

"I do have a way." Luke looked at the old man in front of him with a smile and said slowly.

"The situation in which your sword is present is nothing more than a lack of magic power, that is, the powder of the Philosopher's Stone cannot prevent the escape of magic power. So, either use the whole Philosopher's Stone directly. Or, find a way to ensure that the mana is not lost, and absorb the free magic of the wizard itself and the natural world, and use it to recharge and ensure that the mana of the battle is sufficient. "Of course, it might work with real Philosopher's Stone powder.

But that means you really have to use up a Philosopher's Stone. Luke certainly didn't have such conditions on hand.

And even if it is the powder of the Philosopher's Stone, the cost is unrealistically high. The possibility of mass production simply does not exist.

But......

"An ancestor of the Gaunt family left a spell that amplifies mana, absorbing mana, and a few normal magic gems should be enough." Although magic gems are not cheap, the cost can continue to decrease, but you have to study it slowly.

"Condition." Gibson wasn't really stupid. Luke must have something to offer, and he knows that. But he also knew that he couldn't refuse Luke's request.

And what Luke wants, he also has a basic guess.

"I want the casting method of this sword." Luke got straight to the point, and Gibson nodded without hesitation.

"No problem, but I have the conditions!" Gibson looked at Luke with a determined and determined expression.
