Chapter 222: Brie at the Hog's Head Bar
Oude Old Mansion Hall -
"Alyssa Shafiq?"
Enid came to visit the next day, but she still had Alyssa with her.
"Just call me Alyssa, I don't have the last name Shafiq anymore."
At the beginning, Alyssa broke away from the three-tier business of the Shafiq family and created the Alyssa family, and at the same time showed her attitude and became a member of Dumbledore's favor, but during this time, she has been very low-key, as if she was observing......
"Uh-huh." Brie sat on the sofa, slightly raising his eyebrows, looking a little lazy, today he was going to go to Hogsmeade Village with Tom and Veryle, because the holding of the World Cup in Fantasy Games requires the participation of other forces, Oude wants official recognition, and the Ministry of Magic needs a name to participate and show his reputation.
Hit it off, no matter what was dirty before, the cooperation still has to continue.
It's a pity that Tom used the excuse that Brie had just taken a vacation and should be resting to let him stay at the manor, and Brie was very idle, and he didn't really want to talk to those people from the Ministry of Magic.
"You may be seated, Alyssa, and Enid."
The elves served black tea to Enid and Elisa, and soon served dessert again.
Brie was silent, holding the notes and flipping them slowly.
Enid laughed softly and said, "Lord Ode, I want to go to the garden to have a look." β
"Hmm." Brie nodded, and Enid quickly got up and went out the door.
Alyssa took a sip of tea before saying, "Long time no see, Ode." β
Alyssa's gaze was full of intense inquiry, but she would not frustrate her gaze at Brie so as not to displease Brie.
Brie's growth over the years has been too fast, so she was caught off guard, obviously at the beginning, Brie was just a character who failed to be won over by pureblood, in the eyes of pureblood, he was already a person with no value to befriend, but later... has become a character that is best not to provoke, and so far, it has become a character who needs to be extremely pleased.
The Ode family, think about how much it has been for her Alyssa to withstand the pressure of the Shafiq clan and achieve what she is now.
"I hope to work with you, and although I'm no longer Shafiq, I think we can continue to trade."
Alyssa calmly and sensibly pulled out a contract.
"I understand that Ode is not short of money now... But if you want to keep your wealth, you need a lot of things. β
"Great strength, allies to work with..."
"It's an alliance contract..."
"I refuse." Brie interrupted Shafiq before she could finish.
Alyssa's outstretched hand paused, and it took a long time to slowly withdraw it, and she frowned, "Alyssa's choice is not just Oude. β
"You can go to Dumbledore, your goal is to become the new pure-blood after the turmoil, and I don't think it's a good habit to take sides." What Oude needs is absolute neutrality and strength.
"Sorry, looks like I'm bothering you today." Alyssa put the contract away, pursed her lips and said, "Maybe you... You have your own ideas, but I want to tell you that pure-blood families are not as simple as you think... Sorry again, I can't tell you what this part is about, even if we become allies. β
A flash of fear flashed in Alyssa's eyes, and she exhaled before continuing, "Farewell, Ode." β
Alyssa's slowly walked out of the foot paused, she turned her back to Brie, took a deep breath, and whispered: "Be careful pureblood, Ode, they acquiesced in my ability to leave, and you were an accident, they were eyeing you......"
"It's a deal, a fair deal."
Enid's gaze was firm, but when she looked closely, it seemed like she was forcibly hiding her panic.
"The advent of the fantasy game has caught their attention, of course, a family with wealth is not terrible, for a pure-blood family that has survived hundreds of thousands of years, it is easy to fall."
"You're in luck... The mystery man and the Forbidden Forest Pact protect you. Alyssa couldn't help but sigh at Brie's good fortune and continued, "Someone was calling for the Mystery, and the Mystic responded to it, and because of the peculiarity of the Forbidden Forest Pact, the purebloods decided to continue to support the Mysterio, and you, they will wait for you to leave Hogwarts completely. β
"You have to bear with it now, they can tolerate it for a while in a fantasy game."
"It's good to have a sharp knife, otherwise you'll hurt yourself......" Alyssa stared at Brie and said in a complicated voice, "This is no longer a little snake's game." β
"What are they going to do with Oder?" Brie looked at Alyssa, he didn't know the real pure-blood family, and what the outside world showed was probably what they wanted to show.
"At the Mirage World Cup, a large number of spectators were slaughtered, and the Mirage World Cup was exposed to the eyes of Muggles..."
Alyssa didn't continue, and quickly left the old mansion, and Enid walked in a short time later.
"Lord Oder, Alyssa is not a woman who is willing to be subservient, you may not know that she won the marriage to Bernard in the first place, but... She used Bernard with her own hands in exchange for an opportunity to prove herself, an ally, and sometimes something more dangerous than an enemy. β
Enid didn't know what Alyssa and Brie said, she could only rely on her own conjecture, and at this moment she seemed to think of something again, and immediately smiled coquettishly: "I'm different, I choose to follow Oude, if I can, I can also change my surname to Oude, Enid Oude is very good." β
Enid's eyes flickered as she thought about what she had heard from the flower elves.
Since a little girl dares to say that she has something to be afraid of, anyway, as a flower elf bloodline, it is the wisest choice for her to follow Brie.
"Allies are really unreliable." So Alyssa chose to trade, knowing that Brie had her own persistence.
"What do you think a true pure-blood family looks like, Enid?" Brie put the notes away.
"A true pureblood... It's just that their prestige in the wizarding world is higher, they have some family heritage, and many of them are natural allies, or relatives. β
"It was also in the past few years that purebloods began to marry some ordinary wizard families."
Enid narrowed her eyes, and she said, "Alyssa said something different?" β
"I'm not the heir to House Child, and I can't hear these secrets."
Brie nodded and said softly, "How can a family that has been inherited for thousands of years have no secrets." β
"Let's go to Hogsmeade." Brie got up and said, "Pig's Head Bar." β
Soon, the notes flipped and a circle appeared.
Although the portkey had been arranged in Hogsmeade Village, Brie still didn't like the inconsiderate magic.
When Brie and Enid arrived in Hogsmeade, they headed for the Hogsmeade Bar.
"Oh, welcome, little one." Aberforth's eyes were fixed on Brie as soon as he stepped into the bar.
"I'm looking for Dumbledore, excuse me."
Taking Enid to the side of the wine table, Brie said, "Two glasses of butterbeer, thank you." β
"Hmph." Aberforth snorted, but did not refuse, and quickly brought the beer.
"Hi, are you Mr. Brie Ode?" A female Auror holding a gift box walked up to Brie and asked curiously, "I'm Bertha Jorkins, hello!" β
The female Auror was a little embarrassed, but she was so excited that she got carried away.
"I, I'm a big fan of Mirage Games, and I was lucky enough to pass the promotion tournament this time, and I'm going to participate in the Fantasy Games World Cup soon!" Bertha Joakins carefully opened the box and saw it full of unopened card packs from the Mirage game.
"Can I open a card by your side, please!" Bertha Jorkins blushed and carefully sat down beside Brie.
Brie smiled gently, he naturally would not discourage the enthusiasm of the guests, this box can get a lot of money, this girl is afraid that she will not put most of this month's salary into it.
"Shhh β
"Bang dangβ" There was a sound of seats colliding across Brie's table, clearly startled by Bertha Jorkins' behavior.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Bertha Jorkins scrambled to her feet, and she was embarrassed to apologize to the man in the black robe and hood, showing only his pale chin.
The man pressed the brim of his hat and did not speak, but waved his hand.
Brie felt a sense of murderous intent.
Enid also looked cautiously at Brie.
Brie shook his head slightly, the other party hadn't made a move yet.
"It's Principal Dalyse Devante, this is a great person, a senior card...... It's written... It's back to normal, it's great! Bertha Jorkins' little face was flushed with excitement, and she was holding the card, very excited.
"My dream is to be a good doctor, but... I was defeated, and it was only through my father's relationship with Mr. Barty that I entered the Ministry of Magic and became an Auror. β
Speaking of which, Bertha Jorkins is not embarrassed at all.
"Ugh," she sighed, and began to tear the card bag expectantly.
It wasn't until all the card packs were torn up that she stood up with happiness on her face.
"I'll have to go buy some more." She looked at Brie expectantly, "Will you stay a little longer?" β
"Ahem, I think he'll stay a little longer." Dumbledore is here.
Bertha Jorkins looked at Dumbledore a little nervous and hurriedly trotted out of the Hog's Head Bar.
"I think it's Connelly's sake." Dumbledore spread his hands helplessly, humorously, "He always speaks ill of me in front of these children. β
When Enid saw Dumbledore coming, she got up very consciously and sat down on the other side, right in front of the black-robed young man.
"Drink something?" Aberforth walked over and said coldly.
"Oh, lemonade is fine, some more sugar, thanks." Dumbledore smiled and sat down.
At this time, the black-robed young man also got up and hurriedly walked out of the pig's head bar.
"Enid, go check it out." A paper crane flew out of Brie's notes and landed on Enid's shoulder, and Enid got up and carefully followed the young man.
Dumbledore squinted and smiled, meaningfully.
"What did you find?"
"A guy who wants to do something to my guests."
Not long ago, Alyssa said that pure-bloods wanted to shoot at Brie's guests at the Fantasy Games World Cup, which made Brie's heart suffocated, and now this one at the pig's head bar is blatantly attacking the lone guest first, isn't he stirring up a fire?
"Oh," Dumbledore groaned, not intending to meddle in the matter, he just wondered what was going on for Brie to find him.
Brie waved his hand, casting a barrier around him.
"It's about purebloods." Since pure-bloods were going to put him at odds with Dumbledore, he was going to put Dumbledore at odds with purebloods.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that Alyssa is doing things for Dumbledore and wants to help Dumbledore win him over.
"Pureblood?" Dumbledore's squinted eyes slowly opened, and there was a hint of sharpness in the azure parief.
Brie slowly pulled out a VIP invitation and pushed it into Dumbledore's hand.
"There are unlimited and free freshly made desserts in the VIP box."
"Whoosh!" The invitation was instantly received by Dumbledore.
"Oh, thanks, I'm just getting ready to go out on vacation, and the Fantasy Game World Cup is a great place to go." Dumbledore touched his beard and smiled.
"Do you know true purebloods?" Brie looked at Dumbledore and asked what she wondered about.
"A true pureblood?"
Dumbledore's hand touching his beard paused.
He sighed, "I didn't expect you to start getting in touch with this." β
"Dumbledore is also a pureblood, very old pureblood." Brie frowned, "But you don't look like those pure-blood families. β
"Dang!" Aberforth crossed the barrier and brought up two glasses of lemonade.
"Written on Dumbledore's account." After saying that, he glared at Dumbledore and walked away.
"Looks like your relationship hasn't eased much because of Ariana, Professor Dumbledore."
Dumbledore smiled and shook his head.
"No, Aberforth didn't actually pay attention to me before, thanks to you, Ode."
Dumbledore took a sip of lemonade, smiled contentedly, and then looked at Brie calmly.
"In fact, a true pure-blood is a group of people who occupy most of the resources, but contribute less and less to the wizarding world."
"Over time, they will become more and more stingy in sharing the world with other wizards, and oppression will be born, and reign will be restored; We all know that the wizarding world is so big, its resources are limited, and human greed is unlimited. β
Dumbledore looked at Brie and said solemnly, "Do you think you're greedy?" β
"Of course... I'm greedy, so are you, everybody. Brie doesn't deny it, because greed is human nature.
"Oh?" Dumbledore nodded, and said no more, and Brie didn't ask any more questions.
"Buzzβ" Brie's note began to glow slightly.
"See you next time, Professor Dumbledore." Brie got up and was about to leave.
"We're not enemies, Ode." Dumbledore also got up, squinting at Brie as he walked to the door.
Hearing this, Brie opened the note and quickly left under the circle.
"It's very old magic, and Hogwarts doesn't have the conditions to stand in its way, it seems... From Ms. Ravenclaw. Dumbledore blinked, finally knowing why Brie was able to sneak away in Hogwarts.
