Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 221 Security in place
Flitwick's house.

Mike looked at Arthur and Vesemir who had empty hands in front of him and was speechless.

"Don't you two have any luggage?"

Hearing this, Vesemir blushed, and Arthur said with a natural look: "Didn't you say that there is everything over there?"

It is true to say so, but you two came here from the United States all the way, didn't you bring any luggage?

While complaining frantically in his heart, Mike told the other party the name of the Floo network coordinates of the factory.

Los Santos is not responsible for the Dolphin Magic Drink Factory under the Infinite Magic Company.

Although the coordinate names are very difficult to pronounce, if you want to accurately use the Floo network to teleport to the designated location, you must recite the coordinate names, so Arthur and Vesemir memorized them for a long time before they managed to memorize them.

It has been three days since Mike and Vesemir finalized the signing of the contract. The reason why it took so long to let Arthur and the others go to the factory is because Vesemir, an old man, has too many demands.

Not only independent and high-quality dormitories are required, but also a full set of training equipment and training venues are required.

In order to meet the old man's request, Mike had to invite the wizard construction team again, and it took a day and a half to finally complete everything the old man asked for.

"Let's not talk about this, are you ready?"

"Okay... huh?"

Faced with Mike's questioning, Vesemir was a little uncertain, and it was really difficult for him, an old man whose memory had declined, to recite the awkward name.

Mike ignored him, went straight into the fireplace, sprinkled the Floo powder in his hand, and teleported.

Arthur and Vesemir looked at each other, but could only keep up.

After a whirl that was characteristic of Floo teleportation, Arthur and Vesemir finally felt grounded again.

What appeared in front of their eyes was a large conference room. The two of them wiped off the smoke and dust on their bodies before walking towards Mike who had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Are you ready?" Mike said with a smile, "Take a look at my factory!"

As Mike spoke, he pushed open the door of the conference room and walked out. Arthur and Vesemir followed slowly, and a dazed look appeared on their faces immediately after seeing the scene outside.

I saw dozens of workers wearing uniform black uniforms sitting on a long assembly line. There were men, women, old and young, but each of them worked very seriously, and did not notice Mike and others at all. 's arrival

Suddenly, the magic clock hanging high above the factory wall made a crisp musical sound, and all the workers on the assembly line stopped when they heard this sound.Arthur looked up, and saw that there were only a few simple text blocks on the magic clock, which were work-meal-break-get off work.

At this time, the only pointer on the magic clock was pointing to the dining place.

It turned out that it was time to eat.

Vesemir suddenly realized, and continued to look at the workers.

What surprised him was that the expected scene of going to the restaurant in twos and threes, chatting and laughing, did not appear. The order seems to have been imprinted in the bones of the workers, and they lined up in an orderly manner. Leave the workshop one by one and go to the cafeteria next door.

"How's it going, isn't it?"

Mike said proudly.

Now this Dolphin magic drink factory has gradually improved after a period of running-in. Employees who love to make troubles are constantly singled out and driven away, leaving only those who obey orders. The workers pay attention to their daily work I also became familiar with it, which led to a further increase in the output of the factory, reaching 5000 bottles per week+.

But this output is still not enough compared to the huge market. In desperation (joy), Mike and the Weasley brothers could only increase the price, doubling the wholesale price of Dolphin Magic Drink, in order to screen out those underlying consumers.

Now, Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, the two large wizard gathering places, already have no less than ten Dolphin Magic Drink sales outlets, and those dealers who originally dismissed Dolphin Magic Drink now They all begged Mike to buy.

Of course Mike readily agreed.

Of course, the price and benefits are naturally not as good as those of the first batch of dealers.

Although the price is a bit expensive, these distributors still readily agreed, the reason is that they can pass on the extra cost to consumers, and now that the supply of Dolphin Magic Drink is in short supply, they don't need to worry about not being able to deliver the goods question.

While the dealers were making a lot of money, Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, was feeling very uncomfortable.

Because his distributor application had not been answered until now, what he didn't know was that Mike had done this on purpose, and he hadn't forgotten everything he had experienced in the Leaky Cauldron when he first entered the wizarding world.

He planned to go to the Leaky Cauldron tonight to catch up with Tom, the owner.

Back to Arthur and Vesemir.

The two followed Mike straight through the workshop and came to the staff living area behind the factory.

Compared with the bustling workshop area and canteen in front, the living area is even more lively.Although the shift schedule set by Mike is three shifts, eight hours of high-intensity labor a day obviously cannot completely dissipate all the energy of the young workers.

So they gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and playing wizard chess.

Vesemir even saw some men and women walking hand in hand, seemingly in love.

What surprised Vesemir and Arthur was that no matter what these workers were doing, when they saw Mike, they would immediately stop what they were doing, stand still and hit their hearts with their right hands.

Mike would return a faint smile and nod to him.

It wasn't until Mike disappeared from the workers' sight that they relaxed and continued what they were doing.

"Are you still doing this here?"

The sight of the workers saluting to Mike reminded Vesemir of something bad, and it disturbed him a bit.

And Mike also saw his inner thoughts, and answered the question lightly: "Order is a shortcut to increase productivity."

Vesemir gave Mike a deep look, and stopped talking, assuming he believed what he said.

In other words, he was unwilling to believe his original conjecture.

A few minutes later, Mike led Arthur and Vesemir to a small two-story western-style building.

The Xiaoyang Building is located on the edge of the factory. Standing on the balcony on the second floor, you can see the endless forest sea.On the side of the small western-style building, there is a large area of ​​newly developed land.

This open-air field is somewhat similar to the playground in a Muggle school. There are many white lines drawn with magic paint on the ground to divide the training area.There are also a lot of training equipment and alchemy dummies distributed on the field. Although it is not as good as Professor Flitwick's training room, it can basically satisfy Arthur's training.

"How is it? It's not bad here, is it?"

"Just barely."

Vesemir answered Mike pretending to be calm, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth had already betrayed him.

As for Arthur, he had already rushed into the small mansion, looking at the furniture inside curiously.

"Then the safety of this factory will be entrusted to you." Mike said with a smile, "Your work is very easy, as long as you maintain the daily order, stop the workers if they have any disputes, and don't let them In case of physical conflict, at least you can't draw your wand."

Vesemir listened carefully, and Mike continued after seeing this: "Of course, your protection also includes the factory's equipment and various properties. If the thief is not caught if there is a theft, you will have to deduct wages."

"no problem!"

Vesemir agreed without hesitation. Compared to such a high salary, this amount of work is simply not worth mentioning.

"It's getting late, let's go have lunch."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Vesemir started to walk back. He had already memorized the location of the cafeteria on the way here.However, Mike suddenly stopped him, and said with some doubts:

"Where are you going? I have asked Shuke and Beta to prepare lunch in your dormitory, and it will be your welcome ceremony."

Vesemir was taken aback when he heard that, and looked at Mike in surprise.

Under the sun, Mike smiled gently, his blond hair shining brightly, making that smile extraordinarily warm.

Vesemir felt warm in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face, and the uneasiness in his heart caused by the previous workers' salute disappeared.

Impossible, how could a teenager with such a smile be like those two people.

----------------

At night, Mike bid farewell to Arthur and Vesemir, and came to the Leaky Cauldron through the Floo fireplace.

At this time, the Leaky Cauldron was empty, and the usual old drunks had disappeared. This was deliberately driven away by Tom. Today, Tom was going to welcome an important guest here.

Tom paced back and forth in the bar anxiously, and the dull footsteps were especially obvious in the silent night.

Mike is already late.

Suddenly, there was an explosion in the fireplace. Tom turned his head and saw a boy with short blond hair slowly walking out of the fireplace.

"Mr. Townley! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Tom immediately put on a smiling face, greeted him enthusiastically and was about to hug Mike.

However, in the face of Tom's hug, Mike turned sideways and hid, which made the smile on Tom's face froze suddenly.

"Boss Tom, long time no see."

The slightly immature voice came from Mike, which made Tom react, and the slight displeasure on his face quickly disappeared, and he pulled out a chair courteously and said to Mike: "Sit down, sit down, you want to drink What? My treat tonight!"

Ignoring Tom's hospitality, Mike looked at the tables and chairs that had been wiped clean, nodded in satisfaction and sat down, then took out two bottles of iced Dolphin Magic Drink from the bag of the Untraceable Stretch Curse, and put One of the bottles was passed to Tom.

Tom's eyes were shining when he saw the Dolphin Magic Drink. The reason why he was so humble was because of this cute little thing. In his eyes, this baby with water droplets hanging on the bottle wall was not a drink at all. It was the golden Galleon.

"Ha!" Tom let out a breath after he opened the bottle cap and drank half of it in one gulp. "It's really good! I feel like I'm back in my youth!"

Mike was indifferent to Tom's compliments, just fiddled with the drink bottle in his hand, as if this bottle of Dolphin Magic Drink was different from other drinks.

The smile on Tom's face gradually froze. According to international practice, the two of them should have a business bragging to each other before discussing business.But now that he throws out the topic, Mike ignores it.

It felt uncomfortable to be flattered on the horse's leg. Mike's behavior made Tom very dissatisfied. He even wondered if Mike came here this time to humiliate himself.

He didn't know Mike's identity at first, but he remembered after investigation that Mike was the kid who had a conflict with Old Pete two years ago.

Old Pete disappeared after the conflict with Mike, and his body was not found in the lake until a week later.

The preliminary conclusion given by the Ministry of Magic was that he fell into the water after being drunk. Old Pete's family had no doubts at all. After disposing of his body hastily, they happily divided up his few family properties.

Seeing that no one cared about this matter, the Ministry of Magic also gave up on continuing the investigation.

This is the so-called people do not raise officials and do not investigate.

To be honest, Tom can understand Old Pete's family quite well. Although Old Pete came from the blogger family, all his immediate family members are dead, and eating extinct families has always been a fine tradition in the British wizarding world.And usually because of his bad temper, he doesn't have any good friends. It's normal that no one cares about his life or death.

Even Tom believed the Ministry's story at first. After all, old Pete was a drunk, and it made sense to fall into the lake drunk.

But after learning of Mike's existence, Tom began to suspect the cause of Old Pete's death. There was no reason for it. Mike's deeds in the past two years all proved that he was a ruthless person.

Old Pete was probably the one who killed him!
Tom is not very willing to believe this conclusion, because if it is true, Mike has been killing people since he was at least 12 years old.

This is really a little scary.

It's not that he didn't want to report Mike in the past, but he has no evidence.In the past two years, Mike has met many important people, if he survives the snake...

Tom suppressed the terrible thoughts in his heart, squeezed out a smile and said, "Mr. Townley, look at our Dolphin distribution contract..."

Tom stopped suddenly in the middle of his speech and looked at Mike expectantly.This made Mike feel very boring.

Originally, he planned to come here to have a pretentious addiction, but the bar owner Tom didn't take the trap at all, as if he let you beat and scold him, so that Mike didn't have the slightest pleasure of revenge and slap in the face.

Thinking back carefully now, Tom didn't seem to have much malice towards himself at the beginning, and in a sense, driving himself out of the bar was also to prevent himself from being more seriously hurt.

Thinking of this, Mike sighed, and when he was about to let go, he saw a figure suddenly appearing on the stairs on the second floor.

"Um, Boss Tom. Do you have any hot dog sausage?"

Harry in pajamas walked down the stairs, and was slightly taken aback when he saw only Mike and Tom in the empty bar.
