What's on the other side of the sea?

It's the New World!

United States, United States. Whether in the world of wizards or in the world of humans, this is a magical country.

Thanks to the vast land, abundant resources, and ...... It is a sparse population compared to the land area. This makes people feel that God is so partial to the United States.

For wizards, especially the nobles, they are very complicated to watch a group of wizards who were excluded by themselves or hired to go to the New World, take root there, finally become independent, and gradually have strong strength in the process of innovation after innovation.

The dogs who obeyed them back then finally put on brocade clothes, and the people dressed up appeared in front of them. While they ridiculed each other's monkeys, they also had to greet them with a smile.

Because they are getting weaker little by little, and the power of the other side is increasing.

There are many reasons, institutions, resources, wizarding wars in Europe......

"And the Muggle world on the American side is aggressive and strong."

Luke's words caused Dumbledore to look at him suspiciously. Luke's face remained unchanged and he said leisurely, "Wizards claim to be independent, but in reality, both we and they are closely related to Muggle society in their own area."

"We've turned a lot of Muggle kids into wizards. But in reality, there is still a Muggle side in them."

Hermione, for example, was the reason why she was so a top student throughout Hogwarts, not only because of her talent, but also because of the efficient learning methods she had developed in the competition of Muggle children.

This is the reason why she was able to basically open up the gap with all the other students except Luke.

And compared to Hermione's all-rounder, Luke's bias is also obvious.

Look at Ron, the quintessential representative of this wizarding family.

Well, not very typical. After all, he is both a nobleman and the fifth child in the family. This is a real rare animal in the wizarding world.

However, his living conditions are very typical of the children of a wizarding family. Ron is not at the end of the crane on the learning platform, on the contrary, his learning is still in the middle. Compared with his brothers, it is naturally a little less interesting. But it's not far behind compared to others.

What is his attitude towards learning?

Just get by.

The competition faced by the children of the wizarding world was too small. And those parents who have the money and resources to open a small stove for their children have raised children like Luke and Malfoy. Malfoy's results were in the middle of the top three to the top five in Slytherin, which was behind Luke, Taylor and a few.

In a sense, it is also a beneficiary of the standard elite education.

"I think you might want to talk to the headmaster of Farmorny about educational strategy. Although it may not be possible to get any qualitative improvement. But maybe I'll get some inspiration."

Luke suggested half-jokingly, half-earnestly.

He didn't really care about Hogwarts' approach to education. His core combat system is not something that Hogwarts can teach. At Hogwarts, all he was able to learn was the usual knowledge, the normal level of magic. It's not all oversized stuff like at home.

Unconventional and powerful magic, an experiment log that studies advanced magical problems......

These are not things that he should be too obsessed with at this stage.

Dumbledore also nodded seriously after listening to Luke's words. If it were a different person, he would just listen to it. But Luke never let go. So he chose to trust Luke.

"You don't seem to be in a good mood."

Dumbledore looked at Luke's somewhat complicated expression and said with a smile.

In fact, he could guess Luke's thoughts. After all, if I want to say it, the Gaunt family back then was definitely the most complicated point of the American wizarding world.

As we all know, the cornerstone of the magical world in a region is this region

School of Magic and Magic.

In a sense, that defector from the Gaunt family single-handedly laid the cornerstone of the entire American wizarding world. And the family of the Gaunt family at that time, the woman who was a little crazy, completely deteriorated the relationship between the other party and the Gaunt family.

In a sense, the Gaunt family should be the enemy of the entire wizarding world.

Luke pursed his lips and shook his head, "I'm not in a good mood, but it's probably not the same thing as you, Professor."

"The Magic Academy is not fundamentally different from the Lance family to me. I'm just selfish. The benefits of the other Gaunt, I can eat as much as I can. And the bad things left behind, I can avoid them."

Although some people started the attack indiscriminately. There was no chance of causing his face to avoid.

"And what are you struggling with?"

Dumbledore asked, curiously.

Luke looked at the sea and let out a long sigh, "I'm remembering the background of those families I collected about America at the time."

"Although every family has a black history to dig into. But any family, a shovel is black history, and it is too terrifying."

"Cunning and assassination were used to snatch the veins from the hands of primitive tribal wizards. And on that, a family was formed."

"Manipulating indigenous Muggles on a large scale with magic, mining, gathering, and killing......

"Catch the black girl and sell it to Muggle ......"

"I found a special narcotic poison from the primitive tribe and sold it well after my own improvement. Later, he regarded this thing as his own exclusive stunt. However, he found a business of smuggling specialty products to foreign countries and completed the transformation. Most of the smuggled animals are magical animals endemic to North America."

Luke took a deep breath......

When the crowd star shines......

The Malfoys have also done a lot of bad things, including the scandal of Muggle abuse in their Gaunts. But, but...... Their fortunes were largely based on exploits made in wizarding or Muggle wars. Or maybe it was the case of the Gaunt family, where in ancient times there was a great wizard who gathered a large number of followers and treasures, and then formed a noblemanship.

The original unclean British magic aristocracy, compared with the American magic aristocracy, suddenly became magnificent......

Hell, this is a worse era......

"The last family you mentioned......

Dumbledore didn't pay any attention to the previous words. He already knew these things, but what could he do? Far away from the ocean, he has no way to manage these things.

"Pretty similar to our goal, right?" Luke smiled lightly, and then said with some sarcasm, "Such an arrogant style is really too much like an American aristocracy."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing the Patriarch of the Skye family. I really want to know what aristocratic qualities the descendants of a thief have."

Dumbledore looked at the smile on Luke's face and nodded.

This family, unsurprisingly, is the target.

"If the opponent is one of the top ten families in the United States, it is even the top of the top ten families. Do you have any good ideas?"

Dumbledore asked.

Luke spread his hands, "There's nothing to do, you know, this is one of the ten major families. Don't talk about me, even the Malfoy family, the current leaders of the British aristocracy, must be treated with caution."

"Why do you think I don't want to get involved? With the things that the Skye family has done in the past, I can't imagine how I can safely withdraw from the United States without offending the other party."

Luke looked at Dumbledore and said with a serious face, "There is an old Chinese saying. The strong dragon does not crush the snake."

"The Deep Sea Empire's own homes are not clean. The two of us don't have much to do with the Deep Sea Empire. The Deep Sea Empire has nothing to do with us. To offend a family with whom we are very close to us for the sake of them is not only stupid, it is simply stupid."

Dumbledore looked

Luke kept complaining, with a look on his face, you just say it, I'll listen to it.

Joke...... Luke would really be a ghost if he didn't get involved in this. This kid may be holding back something......

There were a lot of things that Dumbledore couldn't understand. It's not just because I'm old and don't understand how young people play. What's more, he is not a person in that circle and does not know the rules of the circle.

The main reason why Luke was able to get into the thick and easy with a name was that he was in that circle and had not done anything to break the rules of the circle.

As long as everyone doesn't lift the table, nothing will happen to Luke.

"Okay, let's not mention this for now, you know what you want to do, I will help in what matters, and you know what to stand by." Dumbledore interrupted Luke's nonsense, then asked, "Who are your connections over there?"

Dumbledore was still curious about it. As far as he knew, Luke didn't seem to have any layout over there.

Luke raised an eyebrow, seeing that his offensive was ineffective, and after Dumbledore asked the question, he could only smile.

"It's a pen pal!"

Dumbledore glanced at Luke with disdain.

"Isn't it time to say that people are not sincere......

………………

dock

Luxurious convoys lined up at the pier.

There are people standing next to every luxury car. Waiting for the arrival of the people they were going to welcome.

Dumbledore had seen the pomp and circumstance on the shore from afar.

"Is your pen pal that big?"

He sighed with some insight.

Luke glanced over there, shook his head, and said, "Professor, we're not the only ones on this ship."

Dumbledore looked at the group of Muggles who were waiting to get off the ship like himself, and the expression on his face was a little strange for a moment.

Of course, they still couldn't get off the ship in the first place.

Because the police came.

After all, there were two lives on board, and the people on board were noble, but there should still be an investigation.

But the investigation is naturally not closed. After all, everyone's time is precious, and according to the captain, the two people who died did not know how to get on the ship without buying tickets.

This really relieved the police......

It's not a serious guest who dies. As long as you are not a serious guest, then it is much easier to level out.

The police cordoned off the scene and went to the dead man's room to have a look. A simple transcript was made for the onlookers at the time. Then everyone happily disembarked.

The whole process didn't even take more than half an hour.

It can only be said that there is an idea of investigation, but not much.

Dumbledore and Luke didn't want to get through this kind of investigation too much. After all, the other party is just a Muggle policeman.

But when they got off the ship, it was clear that things weren't so easy.

"Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Gaunt, please stay."

A male voice rang out beside the two men.

The two turned their heads and saw two men wearing long brown trench coats and hats, who were about the same size.

Seeing the two of them stop, the leader stepped forward generously and said, "Hello two, we are the Aurors of the Auror Office of the U.S. Congress."

As he spoke, he held out his hand to Dumbledore. After shaking hands with Dumbledore, he shook hands with Luke again.

"We're here to investigate the two wizards who died on this ship." The man at the head had a calm expression, a few steps close, and he was not vicious. It looks like you're doing something that has nothing to do with you.

Luke and Dumbledore exchanged glances.

Dumbledore smiled mildly at the Auror, "Okay, we'll cooperate with the investigation."

See Dumbledore and

Luke cooperated, and the other Auror looked much more relaxed.

Obviously, this attitude also saves them a lot less trouble. The one at the head didn't show much, just smiled a little softer.

And just as they were about to leave with Luke and Dumbledore, a discordant voice came over like I didn't agree with the wedding.

"Wait!"

The four of them followed the sound and looked over, only to see a young man walking over with an elegant gait and a gentle expression.

"Tsk......"

Luke heard the "tsk" and glanced at the leader Auror. Obviously, this was what he expected, but it was not the situation he wanted to see.

As the young man approached, he saluted Luke and said, "Lord Gaunt, I have been sent by the Tripcard family to meet you."

Luke nodded, not speaking immediately.

The young man looked at Dumbledore again, with a respectful look on his face, "Professor Dumbledore, Lord Tripcard has admired you for a long time, and I hope you will pay you a respectful visit."

With a gentle smile on Dumbledore's face, "Of course, I'd love to talk to Mr. Tripcard if I have the chance."

Then, the young man straightened up, looked at the two Aurors, frowned, and said, "Director Barry, may I ask what is wrong with our two distinguished guests to keep you waiting here?"

"Say it, maybe I can help."

The tone can't be said to be bad, but there is also a hint of dissatisfaction.
