"You can take me back and try it first, maybe it's easy to talk. Lockhart thought for a moment and said, even if he didn't help, it was unlikely that there would be a violent conflict or even have to arrest himself and hand it over to the mysterious man. "If I'm not welcome, then I'll leave consciously. ”

"Then I'll have to go to the Ministry of Magic and get things done. Hu Xinya said, "Are you waiting for me here?"

"How long?"

"An hour or two ......"

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the coffee shop over there, hurry up. Lockhart leaned his face up again, not to take advantage, but to make eye contact and use the Divine Mind to make sure that the other party would not lie.

"Yes!" Hu Xinya shrank back with a slightly red face, "Now I can go." ”

"Hurry up, remember I'm waiting for you!" Lockhart pinched her, letting go of her in satisfaction.

――

Lockhart transforms into a Muggle man with Polyjuice Potion, sitting in a coffee shop just across the street from the entrance to the Ministry of Magic, sipping hot drinks and looking at beautiful women passing by.

Inexplicably, he came to the door and asked someone to help someone he didn't know to disguise - wizards are also human, and they can't be expected to be charitable and help themselves for free when they hear that someone needs help, let alone help themselves against the current legal wizard officials.

Is there anything he can get his hands on now, the Philosopher's Stone has already been sent...... I regret it, he still thinks about coming back, I don't know if the unicorn's cord blood is the raw material of the Philosopher's Stone that they have been looking for for a long time, and the Elder Wand can't be given away, at least not until Voldemort is killed. Maybe you can get Hu Xinya to call that guy out, beat him up, and then make a Imperius Curse to serve him?

It's not that simple, he doesn't even know the strength of the other party, even if he wins, I'm afraid there will be a bunch of brothers and sisters who will come to take revenge - wait, it seems that he thinks too much, Hu Xinya can't help him with this kind of ...... Busy with your own people. If you go to bed, you treat each other as your own woman, don't say that Lockhart is not this kind of person. I guess neither is the other party.

Maybe they could make a bunch of promises, as they did with the Muggle Prime Minister, but they wouldn't have to wait until the Ministry of Magic was recaptured, but the Muggle Prime Minister was not like them, the British were directly threatened by Voldemort, and Hu Xinya and they were not......

Thinking about the problem, the time passed quickly. Before the snacks with coffee were eaten, Hu Xinya walked into the café to find him.

She couldn't find anyone left and right, but soon her shoulders were hooked by someone and she was pulled out of the café.

"How did you look like this!"

"Otherwise, I can't wait for you all the time invisible. Or show your true face and wait for you while fighting with the guys from the Ministry of Magic?"

"Oh well, are you sure you want to go back with me to meet them. After Hu Xinya finished saying this, her expression was a little strange, as if she was going to see her parents. "Have you figured out how to convince him to help you?"

"No, I'll talk about it when we get there. Lohartra led her into the alley, "You lead the way." ”

"Tell me when you get there?" the uniformed beauty's eyes widened, "Then what do you want me to tell him." ”

"Needless to say, just let him help me change my appearance. Do you have to tell him that I'm going to go to the Ministry of Magic to overthrow it. Lockhart shook his head. "It's good that you know it in your hearts, there's no need to say it, and you can clear yourself up if something happens. ”

"It seems to make sense, then you're ready. ”

Britain's well-established Floo network amazed wizards from China who were doing diplomatic work. Although their own teleportation network is also being repaired and expanded, it is not good that the country is too big, and this kind of infrastructure cannot be connected to every corner of the country - it can be apparitional to any place, which is why Hu Xinya insists on apparition to commute to work. Because I didn't have such a convenient experience when I returned to China.

They followed the apparition to a house on the outskirts of London, where Hu Xinya led him in......

The building is large and has more than a dozen rooms. Most of them have vague magical fluctuations, and it is clear that there are quite a few wizards living in them.

"The ground floor is occupied by ordinary staff. Hu Xinya said, "The second floor is for those two ......."

"Hmm. ”

Lockhart followed her upstairs, and the staircase faced a large hall, in the middle of which was a strangely shaped coffee table, surrounded by several wisteria chairs, one of which sat an old man dressed in plain cloth, with sparse white hair hanging over his shoulders like a ginseng beard.

This is a very strong wizard, and Lockhart can see at a glance that he is at least at the same level as Zhang Jianshuo, who can tie with Dumbledore before...... It's just that he doesn't look as energetic as Zhang Jianshuo.

These top Oriental wizards who were not qualified to meet when they traveled to China last time they traveled to China somehow ran two to England, is it because wizards of this level are cabbage in China, or because they don't have a single Voldemort at home, so they can run around with confidence?

After the two went upstairs, they quickly attracted the attention of the old wizard, and the two men, one old and one young, looked at each other, and the other smiled at Lockhart and nodded, but did not speak.

Lockhart didn't try to hide his breath, and soon lured the other old guy out of the room.

"Why are you here, this little offspring!" Zhang Jianshuo was still immortal, and his speech was full of energy. "Is this where you should be, I really don't dare to take you to the Ministry of Magic. ”

"Senior, I haven't seen you for many days, and you seem to be doing well. Lockhart smiled at him, "I'm sure you're not that kind of person. ”

"You guys—are you very familiar?" Hu Xinya was a little surprised, but she was relieved to think about it, powerful wizards naturally have their own social circles.

"You believe there's an egg, don't act like you know me very well. The old man scolded with a smile. "Hey, you look a little different, you feel ...... Something seems to be missing, but it's much stronger......" His face changed. "Did you also use some crooked ways!"

Lockhart was a little frightened, you can see it!

"Do you think you've seen that demon whose name you can't even mention?"

"Yes, I've seen it from afar once, hehe, the reason why I called Senior Brother over is because I feel that a person is not his opponent, and I am afraid that he will be unfavorable to me. The old Taoist priest asked curiously, "That person is so strong, did he kill a lot of wizards and then absorb the essence of the victims?" Did you use the same spell?"

"No, it's not like that. Lockhart shook his head, "He won't do anything to you, the senior brother you are talking about, is this the old gentleman, is he the one who is good at disguise?"

"How do you know!" the old wizard admitted with a little dissatisfaction, "Xinya, did you tell him?"

"Uh...... Yes, we have some friendship, and he asked me if there was a way to change my appearance by non-magical means......" Hu Xinya said weakly, "and I brought him to you." ”

"Don't be so scary, let me introduce you, this is the kid who gave me the life-sustaining stone...... But it seems that he is being wanted by the British Ministry of Magic, and his own identity has been impersonated. Zhang Jianshuo introduced with a smile. "This is my senior brother, dozens of years older than me, and his body is a little inflexible. ”

"Yes. The wizard, known as the elder brother, looked at Lockhart from head to toe, and his face changed slightly. "Little friend, do you have any more life stones, take another one to me, and I'll help." ”

The Life-Sustaining Stone, that's what they call the Philosopher's Stone, it's quite appropriate. It's a pity that not only is it gone, but he himself almost didn't survive because he gave it away twice.

"No, it looks like it's been used up. Lockhart shook his head helplessly. "But my friend and I are trying to figure out how to make it and the ingredients soon, and we can give you a ...... when the time comes."

"Huh, when the time comes......" The old guy made no secret of his disdain.

"Actually, we've already made some semi-finished products, and now we're missing the most important ingredients. Lockhart pulled out a small gray Philosopher's Stone that Snape had given him. "This semi-finished product has side effects, very strong side effects, you can look at it. ”

"yes, I'll see. Zhang Jianshuo walked up to Lockhart with great interest, took the small stone and observed it carefully.

"Then let's wait until it's done. The old wizard said with a hint of arrogance, "If you want to be easy to the point that the water can't wash it off, and the spell can't be seen through, it will cost a lot of natural treasures, and I don't have much inventory, let alone let me let this old bone get it for you myself......"

"Tsk, it's really a half-finished product. Zhang Jianshuo said with a smile, "Young man, my senior brother is this temper, but he is also telling the truth, he is very lazy now, and the things that need to be consumed for disguise are indeed very much." ”

"Well, it's okay-" Lockhart shook his head in annoyance, it seems that he has to think of a way, this room is not protected by the Loyalty Charm, maybe he can trick the old guy surnamed Zhang away, and then force his brother to comply?The biggest consequence of this plan is that the other party may jump out to help Voldemort in annoyance at a critical moment in the battle...... And although this guy looks like he will fall apart when he moves, he may have a lot of life when he fights.

Lockhart was calculating whether he was the opponent of the old man in front of him, Zhang Jianshuo's face suddenly changed - he was standing next to Lockhart, and he actually felt that he had lost control of the magic in the air around him, and there was only one possibility for this phenomenon to occur: the other party's influence on the magic was much stronger than his, that is, the magic affinity was far higher than him!

How is this possible, it took him decades to temper his body to exercise his magic affinity to this level, and the other party has only been seen for a year, and he has reached a higher realm? Could it be that he casually told him some tips and conjectures at the beginning, and the other party actually came up with the correct way to exercise magic affinity?

Did he know this result before he took out a treasure like the Philosopher's Stone and gave it away?
