Chapter 225: Demonstrating Value
There was still a lot of discussion in the tent, at least some of the people in the Ministry of Magic that Fudge represented, or those who represented the interests of the conservative pure-blood family, were not particularly concerned.
Even if the dwarf master craftsman has already said the worst of the matter, but some people's attitude: Really? I don't believe it!
This feels familiar, doesn't it?
But finally Dumbledore spoke, "Before I came, I met a few old friends, including Cassandra......"
Everyone stopped talking, on the one hand, respecting Dumbledore's status, and on the other hand, the Cassandra he was talking about was Cassandra Vabraski, the author of "Clearing the Fog and Looking into the Future".
A sorcerer from Eastern Europe, now about a hundred years old, should be considered one of the few sorcerers in the last fifty or sixty years who has a talent for divination and prophecy. Not that kind of liar.
So, Dumbledore went to see a soothsayer? What did she say?
She said...... A catastrophe engulfed the whole of England. It's like dancing on an egg, and if you're not careful, it's completely finished. ”
…… In the end, Dumbledore convinced Fudge and the Ministry officials he represented that if Dumbledore insisted on trusting the judgment of the dwarves and gnomes, Fudge would eventually compromise.
Because he can't afford to gamble.
Although the Muggle side is also very urgent, if something really happens here, no matter how big or small the matter is, you will definitely have to take responsibility in the end.
If Dumbledore didn't believe it either, then he was in front of him. But if he chooses to believe and doesn't believe it, then he has to take the blame himself.
It can only be said that there are too many things to consider in political biology.
……
Because of the urgency of the situation, people were already organized to start taking action that night.
After talking to Ted again and trying the potion he provided, Dumbledore wrote to Snape.
Dumbledore: "This is the Fire Resistance Elixir and Frost Protector developed by Ted, and they work very well. Severus, I need a lot of your craft, and we need this now! ”
Snape's face was gloomy when he heard that he was going to make his "stupid student" recipe.
However, he also knew that Dumbledore had written to call him, and the attitude in the letter was very humble, which was not ordinary, so he could only ask with a stinky face, "How much?" Also, the supply of materials must be guaranteed! ”
"Of course, it probably takes ...... At least fifty bottles! The more the merrier! You can talk to Ted about the details. ”
When Snape heard fifty bottles, he muttered a curse, "Is fifty bottles of potions for bathing?" I knew it wasn't reliable! Damn the unlucky recipe! It's not as good as dragon dung......"
Ted respected the teacher, listened to him scold for a long time, and let out a bad breath, then stepped forward and said, "Professor, let me talk about the difficulties of these two potions." The former is an enhanced version of the scald treatment potion, and I added the Fire Flower and Salamander Scales......"
"As for that Frost Body Protector, because it involves a new spell I developed, I can only ask you to make the base liquid and give it to me, and Jerry and I will cast spells on it......"
In fact, after thinking about it, Ted had already asked to bring Hermione and Neville on the grounds that "potions need to be spelled, and exclusive spells are only available to his friends".
After all, this time is a big scene, so it's better to let your friends see the world. After all, they are just in charge of logistics, and they are very safe.
Dumbledore was originally unwilling, and it was a last resort to let Ted join this battle, considering his strength and mature mind, it was nothing, but pulling other third-year students in it really didn't seem like the headmaster's business.
But Ted persuaded, "Professor, I can understand your desire to protect your students, but a little wizard can't grow without going through things." This time, it was a rare opportunity to help only in the rear. What's more, this is a big event that affects the entire British Isles, and I think they have an unshirkable responsibility! ”
Sirius on one side also said good things to his adopted daughter: "We were ...... then"
He didn't say that it was okay, but Dumbledore felt a headache when he said it, and he was afraid that he would call these children to stab him again, but in the end he agreed.
Because he was moved by what he said to Ted, "A little wizard can't grow without going through things."
The immortal boy and his friends really need training far beyond that of ordinary young wizards.
That night, the friends were picked up separately.
They had just been brought by the members of the Ministry of Magic with apparitions, and before they could get used to the dizziness, they heard Fudge's speech in a frustrated manner......
He's been talking for ten minutes, and that's what it's about: As the Ministry of Magic, we're going to ...... Again...... Still......
……
A busy and messy night's equipment, the wizard's side is probably ready.
The reason why it is probable is because they really have little experience in organizing such a big event, and they are in a hurry and at a loss. It's a mess!
Every wizard was tired in the middle of the night, but it was hard to say how much they had done.
But Ted did his best.
The production of fire resistance potions and frost protection potions, even with the help of six or seven potions masters commanded by Snape, had already kept him busy for half the night.
Later, a magic circle tactic of "encroaching step by step, advancing with frost" was proposed.
During this time, the wizards and dwarven gnomes were naturally not idle, and sent several squads to try to infiltrate the land of flames, by the way, to test the strength of the enemy and the influence of the environment.
It can only be said that the enemy is not weak, especially in that environment.
The air in the Land of Flames was nearly fifty degrees hot, like bathing in the hottest pool. For more than ten seconds, the exposed skin was red. Even those with low physique feel that they can't breathe well.
The boots on your feet start to soften in a few minutes there, and start sticking to the ground after a few minutes!
This scorching environment would cost wizards a third of their combat power!
Not to mention, although the overall strength of those fire elemental beings is not very high, their lethality is definitely not covered.
It's fire and magma again!
If nothing else, many fire elemental monsters will explode when they die, and the advance reconnaissance team alone has six wizards who have been burned by the red, hot rubble.
It was Ted who temporarily used the white fresh essence mixed with frost oil to stabilize the injury, and then the wizards remembered that they had to hurry to St. Mungo's hospital to call for medical personnel, ready to treat the wounded at any time.
Ted's face at the time - it was torture!
It's like playing League of Legends, the opposite side has average strength, but your teammates are four cerebral palsy!
Prison time!
Fudge went around and around, talking to this and giving assignments to that, and he was busy sweating as if he was very competent, but the more he commanded, the more chaotic he became.
In the end, Dumbledore couldn't take it anymore and gave him a fee.
Fudge didn't think he was going to cause chaos with the Minister of Magic, so he was very upset when he was taken away.
Ted really wants to rush up and give him two big pockets - you don't spill pee on yourself! Look at your! What the hell are you playing Kaishen Logistics Micro here?! 500,000 vs. 300,000 advantage in me? I beep ......
……
"Ted, it's up to you!" Below the sinkhole, Sirius led two teams of ten wizards and said to Ted.
"Hmm!"
Ted couldn't help but be ready for the large amount of magical materials that the Ministry of Magic had brought overnight.
The "encroachment step by step, frost advancement" proposed by him is to use the power of the alchemy circle to curb the high temperature environment.
Looking at the goblin silver piled up in front of him, and then looking at the other materials piled up - he had never fought such a rich battle!
The fairy demon silver on the ground slowly melted in the alchemy array built by Ted, and then began to flow along the established formation mark, and the magic words began to flicker brightly.
After about ten minutes, Ted pretended to pour a few sips of the tonic potion, looking weak: "It's already well!" Rush in a moment, remember to put down the materials as marked as you go, and fend off the monsters. Once the circle is spread, the temperature will be lowered a lot, so we can fight in that kind of place......"
Sirius didn't speak, just nodded, and then rushed into the Land of Flames with the vanguard team, who wanted to give the follow-up troops a foothold.
The few remaining wizards in the sinkhole looked at Ted and wondered: it was potions, magic circles, and magic texts, and now all Hogwarts was rolled up like this? I won't be able to do these things when I graduate from seventh grade, right?
Behind them, Hermione Harley and the others were already getting busy, and Ted was presiding over the circle, and they were in charge of the fight.
