Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

448 King to King

Two days later, Mike brought Franklin and Benjamin to a retro villa on the banks of the River Thames in London.

This is the meeting place that Mike and the Muggle Prime Minister of the country agreed to meet, and the two will have their first contact here later.

In fact, the Muggle Prime Minister originally planned to have a video call with Mike, after all, his own safety can be fully guaranteed in this way.

But he was mercilessly rejected by Mike on the grounds that doing so was insincere and an insult to him.

After another round of discussions, the Muggle Prime Minister finally decided to meet in this retro villa.

There is no doubt that this is the territory of the Muggle Prime Minister, and through magical perception, Mike discovered the security personnel hiding around and inside the villa as soon as he came here.

These people are all loaded with live ammunition, almost armed to the teeth, and the number has reached three digits.

Mike guessed that this was the reason why the Muggle Prime Minister would agree to meet here, the security guards gave him a sense of security.

He probably thought that so many security personnel could be easily killed even by wizards, but in fact these people could barely stand a face-to-face meeting in front of Mike.

In the eyes of Mike and Benjamin, the Muggle Prime Minister's sense of security is nothing more than self-comfort.

After understanding the general situation of the scene, the three of Mike did not hesitate to understand the disillusionment spell and showed their figure.

The security guard standing at the door was obviously taken aback by the sudden appearance of the three of them, and pressed his hands to his waist almost reflexively.

But in the next moment, he immediately realized that the three teleported people in front of him were the prime minister's guests today.

Taking a deep breath, the burly security guard tentatively asked:

"Is that Mr. Townley?"

"That's right." Mike nodded with a smile, "The two behind me are my friends."

The security guard stared at Mike and the others for a while, then squeezed a smile uglier than crying, and welcomed Mike and Benjamin in.

This made Mike a little surprised. You must know that in the original agreement, Mike should come alone.

Mike thought that these people would try to stop him, but he didn't expect that the security personnel in front of him not only did not refuse his request to bring more people, but even did not conduct the body search that is common in movies!
"Please go straight ahead, the Prime Minister is waiting for you in the reception room."

The burly security guard showed Mike the direction respectfully, and Mike stared at him for a while with a strange expression.

He originally planned to find an excuse to teach the janitor a lesson in order to give the Muggle Prime Minister a blow, but he didn't expect the security guard to be so polite.

"What a lucky guy."

Mike muttered and entered the villa, while the security guard at the gate was stunned.

There is a lot of space inside this retro villa. Mike and Benjamin walked forward for a long time without seeing the living room that the security guard mentioned.

But along the way, Mike and others were not alone, because there were many security personnel hiding beside the various decorations placed on both sides.

I have to say that their hiding skills are very high. Even Mike can't tell the difference between them and the surrounding scenery with the naked eye.

But all this is too obvious in the eyes of Mike and others.

Franklin even took it for fun to pierce the disguise of those security personnel, which made all the security personnel terrified.

And after a while of flying around, Mike and others finally came to the living room.

In this spacious and bright living room, the tall and fat Muggle Prime Minister was standing alone in front of the window.

The sound of Mike's approaching footsteps obviously startled him, and he turned around to face Mike, the muscles on his face quickly began to twist and deform, squeezed out a bright smile, and at the same time walked towards Mike with open arms come over.

"Oh! Mr. Townley, I finally see you!" The Muggle Prime Minister said as he walked, "You are so young, you are so young and promising!"

"It is an honor to meet you too, Mr Prime Minister."

Mike said with a smile, taking advantage of the opportunity to avoid the hug of the Muggle Prime Minister, and stretched out his right hand.

The Muggle Prime Minister, who was shunned from the hug, was a little embarrassed, but soon he readjusted his expression, holding Mike's outstretched right hand with both hands and shaking it up and down.

At the same time, he was constantly looking at the legends of Mike and the others. When he saw that Mike and Benjamin were all wearing light black suits, the Muggle Prime Minister's eyes flashed with surprise.

He originally thought that Mike would come here wearing the iconic costume of wizards, just like the Minister of Magic named Scrimgeour. Although that guy was dressed quite formally, he was not a normal person. It's crazy to go out to meet guests in thick suits and woolen coats.

But this is also a good thing. After all, the more normal Mike and the others behave, the more consistent their three views and common sense are, and the smoother they will be when they chat for a while.

Thinking of this, the smile on the Muggle Prime Minister's face became even brighter. He lightly held Mike's right hand, shook it twice before letting it go, and said softly:

"Come on, my friends, let's sit down and talk again. I specially asked someone to prepare the best black tea. You must try it."

The three of Mike sat down unceremoniously, but they didn't touch the so-called high-end black tea that was steaming on the table. Instead, the Muggle Prime Minister was graciously arranging refreshments for the three of them, and said some words that were not nutritious, which was quite important. Talk to the three of Mike until it gets dark.

Mike shook his head impatiently. He was quite satisfied with Muggle's arrangements for today, and he could see that the other party was very sincere, so he didn't intend to continue to argue with the other party. He said directly:
"Mr. Prime Minister, that's the end of the chat. It's better for us to get straight to the point. Do you want to ask us for something?"

"Uh, okay." Hearing that the Muggle Prime Minister was stunned for a moment, he rubbed his hands and said nervously, "First of all, I want to thank you for helping the people of our country. Secondly, I want to share with you You maintain a good relationship. After all, there are not many wizards who are willing to help ordinary people like us and maintain goodwill with us."

"Do you want to win our friendship?" Mike hooked his mouth, "Then you should show some substantial sincerity?"

"Substantial sincerity? Sorry, are you referring to pounds? But according to the information I have learned, it seems that wizards are not very short of money."

"Don't pretend to be confused, Mr. Prime Minister." Mike shook his head and said, "You know exactly what we want. Privileges, intelligence, supplies and military help, we all want these things, and as a gift between friends, We will give you some magic props, such as potions or something."

As soon as this remark came out, both the Muggle Prime Minister and Benjamin were shocked.

The former was shocked by the fact that Mike directly revealed their original purpose in one breath.

But Mike didn't think it was a big deal. After all, he had to tell the other party about these conditions in the end. It didn't make any difference if he said it sooner or later.

And the latter was simply shocked by the favorable conditions given by Mike!

You must know that due to the International Wizarding Secrecy Act, there are very few magic items circulating on the market, and most of them have negative effects.

"This... this... Aren't you afraid of the secrecy law?" The Muggle Prime Minister wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, but he realized that he was stupid as soon as he said the words, and the other party was willing to sit I have negotiated with myself, an ordinary person, so I don't care about the secrecy law, "Sorry, I was wrong. Can you tell me in detail what level of support you need and what level of magic items you can provide?"

"Okay, then I'll just say it straight. I think you should know that the wizarding world of the country is currently in a civil strife, and another wizard with terrible strength has come back from the dead, trying to rule the wizarding world again Even get rid of all wizards with impure blood, and even you ordinary people without magic power, so we rose up and resisted.

There is no doubt that this will be a protracted and terrifying battle. I need to win over all the friends I can win. I think that in this battle, you should give us unconditional support in any aspect, including military aspects.

And I will give you appropriate help according to your needs.For example, give you some invisibility cloaks, or potions that can make people luckier and potions that can prolong life. "

Every time Mike said a word, the Muggle Prime Minister's breathing became more rapid.

The Muggle Prime Minister can swear that Mike is definitely not a leader who is good at negotiating, nor is he a qualified politician, but what the other party can offer is so good, so good that he almost wants to agree without hesitation , You must know that it is the extraordinary power that I have dreamed of!

But in the end, the Muggle Prime Minister still endured his desire. He knew very well that Mike was not here to do charity. While the other party gave him this favorable condition, he would definitely ask for a lot of things, so he had to be cautious. OK.

Ever since, a tangled negotiation began.

At this time, the Muggle prime minister who was blinded by interests had completely forgotten the identities of the three wizards of Mike, and began to fight for his own interests based on reason.

It's a pity that Mike didn't have the slightest intention to bargain with him, and he refused to let go after he insisted on the terms.

Finally, after two hours of dealings, the hands of the Muggle Prime Minister and Mike finally held together again.

The agreement between the two did not change much, but there were great restrictions on the details.

For example, on the condition of giving military assistance, the other party clearly stated that they would not use weapons of mass destruction for Mike, and that they would dispatch special forces with a maximum number of no more than 50 people with a small number of helicopters and rocket launcher-level assistance, and every time they dispatched assistance Mike must pay all the expenses, and can use magic props to offset the price.

In this regard, the Muggles first appeared to be extremely stingy, but the other party gave the Freemasons great support in terms of intelligence and privileges.

All Freemasons will be registered in a special department called the 'Homeland Security Bureau' and can mobilize local j parties.

This means that every freemason has become a privileged class of this gj, and it is also the most advanced kind.

As long as the things they do don't go too far, Yingguo will come forward to wipe their ass.

In addition, the national information base is also open to the Freemasons. As long as Mike wants, he can investigate any information of any citizen, including real-time monitoring and mobile phone location.

But in exchange, Mike must hand over magic items of no less than 3000 Galleons to the country every month, and the categories are limited to potions and magic items with special strategic functions.

This condition is already quite generous, basically equivalent to Mike spending money to open a super member of the Muggle world in the country, and the membership fee is extremely low.

Mike guessed that the reason why the Muggle Prime Minister gave such favorable conditions was entirely because he wanted to deduce the production methods of these things through the potions and magic props given by Mike, so as to analyze the mysteries of magic.

But Mike is not optimistic about this.

The two worlds of wizards and Muggles are so different. It is simply a fantasy to use inherent products to reverse, just like Benjamin, the master of potions, there is no way to reproduce Gleevec for the treatment of leukemia. Similarly, it is estimated that Muggle chemistry experts can only be blind in the face of those potions.

In the end, Mike signed a magical contract with the Muggle Prime Minister, as well as a paper contract that is common in the Muggle world.

The duration of these two contracts is one year. Mike originally wanted to sign for ten years. After all, neither the magic contract nor the ordinary contract has any binding force on him. The magic contract can even be said to be a unilateral contract. The robber contract, after all, the Muggle Prime Minister's magical contract has no way to backlash, but Mike can perfectly avoid the damage of this thing.

It's just that the Muggle Prime Minister is not an idiot. He thinks that his term of office will expire soon, and the new Prime Minister may not agree to this contract, but he rejects Mike's request to sign a long-term contract.

In this regard, Mike has nothing to say, after all, the other party's reasons are too good.

"Then, wish us a pleasant cooperation, Mr. Prime Minister."

"Happy cooperation, Mr. Tangley, thank you again for your outstanding contribution to the people of the country."

After all this was done, Mike and the Muggle Prime Minister stood up and shook hands together again.

Mike originally planned to leave directly, but he stopped suddenly after hearing what the other party said.

"By the way, Mr. Prime Minister, there is another question that has been bothering me." Mike asked, "What we did in the country before caused a big storm of public opinion, so big that the Ministry of Magic couldn't solve it at all. , I can only turn to you for help. But you calmed it down easily, how did you do it?"

Hearing this, the Muggle Prime Minister was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed and said:
"Oh! my friend! That was so easy. In fact I didn't do anything."

"Did nothing?"

"Yes! No one can understand these people better than me. Their enthusiasm for things is always 3 minutes. As long as you don't talk to them, their attention will be lost to other things after a long time, such as gossip about singers. The Muggle Prime Minister said proudly, "So, to deal with these selfish fools, you just need to fool around."
