Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 493
As soon as he returned to the secret realm of the Masonic Society from Foley Manor, Mike couldn't bear it anymore. He walked towards the meeting room quickly and asked Zhou Hong anxiously:
"Are you sure?"

"Of course, I have already set an anchor in Draco Malfoy's mind, and now he is completely our spy." Zhou Hong was also extremely excited at this time, rubbing his hands and laughing, "And according to his Judging from the feedback, now Voldemort has confirmed the role of the disappearing cabinet, and is gathering people to prepare to attack Hogwarts!"

"What about the time? When are they going to launch the attack?"

"December 25th, eight o'clock in the evening on Christmas, this time happens to be the climax of the Hogwarts Christmas dinner."

Mike nodded and said:
"We still have time, let Franklin do it, we're going to start moving the disappearing cabinet."

"understand!"

"Are there any other problems?"

Mike just asked casually. In his opinion, his arrangement is already perfect, and it is almost impossible for everyone to have problems.

But Zhou Hong was embarrassed when he heard the words, and said strangely:

"Well, there are no major problems in other places, but the Muggle Prime Minister..."

Zhou Hong's voice suddenly weakened in the middle of speaking, and finally disappeared.

When Mike heard the words, his eyes froze, he turned his head and frowned and said:
"What? He doesn't want to send troops?"

"It's not...it's just..." Zhou Hong had a strange expression on his face and couldn't tell why, and finally pointed to the meeting room not far away and said, "Anyway, I can't explain this matter clearly, why don't you go Talk to him, the double mirror is ready for you."

After hearing the words, Mike stopped asking, but walked into the conference room quickly.

There were not many people in the conference room at this time, only Benjamin and Penello were there, and a huge full-length mirror was erected on the conference table, facing Mike's first seat.

As soon as Mike walked into the meeting room, he felt that something was wrong, because Benjamin and Penello explained with serious expressions at this time, as if they had encountered a very serious problem.

"boss!"

"Mike!"

Seeing Mike appearing, both Benjamin and Penello stood up. The latter looked guilty. Among all the tasks, she was the only one who had a problem, which made her very disturbed.

She just wanted to come over to explain, but Mike shook his head, touched her cheek as a sign of comfort, and then sat down in front of the double-sided mirror.

The wand in Mike's hand moved slightly, and the picture on the mirror in front of his eyes showed layers of ripples, and finally reflected the appearance of the Muggle Prime Minister.

It was mid-afternoon, and the Muggle Prime Minister seemed to be enjoying afternoon tea. He was startled by the change in the double-sided mirror, and almost sprayed the tea in his mouth all over the desk.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The Muggle Prime Minister coughed violently, wiped his mouth until his breathing became easier, and looked at Mike in the picture with a smile on his face, "Mr. Townley, we meet again. It's been a day since we met. Like every other..."

"Okay, there's no need to talk nonsense!" Mike interrupted him with a sullen face, "I need your military support now, will you give it?"

Mike's attitude was very bad, and Penello's aggrieved look made him feel very distressed. Although he didn't show it, he was already full of anger towards the Muggle Prime Minister at this time.

But the Muggle Prime Minister on the opposite side didn't care, he continued to maintain that perfect smile, shook his head slightly and said:
"Mr. Tangley is really a straightforward person, but you don't need to be so impatient. First of all, we can certainly provide military support. After all, this is something that has been written in black and white in the contract, but the scale of weapons you need and I really can't be satisfied with the number of soldiers!

You must know that you are powerful and don't care about the sanctions of the International Federation of Wizards, but I am different.I'm just an ordinary person, if those wizards find out about this, and they send a few random people over, I'm doomed!Maybe they will put me in that wizard prison called Avakaban, I heard from other wizards, there..."

"Enough!" Mike yelled impatiently, rubbing his eyebrows, "How many people can you produce?"

The Muggle Prime Minister raised a finger to signal Mike to wait, then turned out a blank piece of paper, coughed twice and read:
"A ten-member team, all members are composed of the most elite 'Royal Navy Special Boat Regiment' members, and equipped with the most advanced heat-sensing night vision device, L119a1 rifle..."

The Muggle Prime Minister beeped and announced a lot of high-end terminology, which made Mike froze for a while.

But he is not a fool, and he finally understood after hearing it.

After talking about the feelings of the other party, they are only willing to send out ten special scouts, and they are not willing to give anything else.

Now Mike was really angry, but instead of getting mad, he calmed down, looked at the Muggle Prime Minister coldly and said:

"I want a ground force of about 70 people, of which at least there must be an armored force of about 40 people, plus 4 Savage helicopters and five Scorpio fighter jets."

"It's impossible!" The Muggle Prime Minister shook his head like a rattle, "I absolutely can't do this! Such a large-scale transfer of armed forces will definitely be discovered by the International Federation of Magic, and by then..."

"Are you so afraid of the International Federation of Magic, but not me at all?"

Before the Muggle Prime Minister finished speaking, Mike's faint voice came into his ears.

His face froze, looking at Mike's same cold expression through the cold mirror, his body shivered suddenly.

Mike's words without a trace of emotion made him confirm one thing, that is, Mike was serious, this kind of person who dared to ignore the International Statute of Secrecy to send potions and magic items to Muggles, really dared to assassinate the king of a country. Prime Minister's.

The Muggle Prime Minister swallowed, and said in a weak tone with an aggrieved expression:
"They are all citizens of the Great Empire, and they are the pillars of the country carefully cultivated by the taxpayers with massive tax dollars."

Mike rubbed the blackthorn wand in his hand, and said impatiently:
"so what?"

"I have to pay more!"

半个小时后，双面镜之上的画面终于是消失了，在经历了激烈的讨价还价之后，麦克最终以5瓶吐真剂、5瓶复方汤剂、1小瓶福灵剂、100瓶强效治疗药剂以及10套隐身衣的代价租借到了自己所需要的部队总共10天的指挥权。

In addition, what Mike obtained is only the right to lease. If these people and machines are damaged or destroyed during the battle, Mike will provide additional compensation. Of course, the specific price has also been negotiated. The pension for each soldier is about 100 Galleons, 10000 Galleons for the Sky Fiend fighter, 5000 Galleons for the Savage Helicopter, and another calculation for armored vehicles.

At first glance, this deal seems to be a disadvantage for Mike. After all, the various medicines the other party needs are difficult to obtain high-end goods, and if the battle does not go well, Mike will need to pay a large amount of supplies. These things even Los Santos It is a little difficult for the group to get it.

But in fact, Mike felt that he had earned his blood!

You must know that the unit price of the Savage helicopter has reached an astonishing 450 million pounds!As for the Tiansha fighter jets, it is even more exaggerated. The cost of each one is more than 1700 million pounds!
Such a precious war machine, to be honest, the Muggle Prime Minister needs very little. As long as he has these things, Mike even dares to touch Voldemort!
On the other hand, the Muggle Prime Minister didn’t feel that he was at a disadvantage. After all, these things are old gadgets left over from decades ago. Instead of these things, what he cares about is those precious magic potions and magical magic props!
In his eyes, this is the future!
So in general, this is a deal that both parties feel they have made a profit, and everyone is happy!

Penello and Benjamin, who had been watching from the sidelines, were completely stupefied at the moment. They never expected that the prime minister of a country could actually go to the Portobello Road Market (a famous large flea market in London) to purchase The old lady was also red-faced and bargaining with Mike!This simply overturned their perception of the prime minister!

And Mike, who had a panoramic view of their expressions, sighed helplessly.

Now he has basically figured out why Penello and Benjamin can't handle such a trivial matter that he thinks is easy.

In the eyes of Penello and Benjamin, the Muggle Prime Minister is a very lofty position and a leader worthy of their respect. This is also a common shortcoming of most Muggle-borns. This may seem unbelievable to others. After all, the Muggle Prime Minister of the country has always been used to scold them, and ordinary people are not friendly to them.

But Muggle-born wizards like Penelope were sent to the closed school Hogwarts at the age of 11, and they could only stay in the Muggle society for a few months after that, so they are very interested in the Muggle society. Their cognition has always been stuck in childhood, and they still respect the prime minister for things like children.

It was precisely because of their respect that they fell into a disadvantage in negotiating with the Muggle Prime Minister, because they instinctively believed that the other party was a person with a higher status than themselves, so they did not dare to take tough measures.

This gave a chance to professional politicians like the Muggle Prime Minister, who were good at playing tricks and negotiating!
"Okay, there's no need to be so frowning, it's just a trivial matter." Mike waved his hand and said, "Next time you meet that half-bald old man who directly threatens you with death, don't talk to him too much. You guys still have to talk about it." Not his opponent."

"understood."

Penello and Benjamin responded in a low voice, the expressions on their faces were still somewhat disappointed.

But time was urgent, and Mike didn't have time to appease their emotions. After a few brief explanations, Mike took Zhou Hong and other staff to the Avery Secret Realm directly.

Today's Avery Rift is very different from when Mike first came.

In the original Avery Secret Realm, except for some magic lamps near the Avery factory, all the areas are dark 24 hours a day, in a wild state, and there are usually no creatures willing to do so except for the worker ants who go to cut mushrooms. went.

However, many areas in the current Avery Secret Territory are planted with the luminous mushroom called 'Night Firefly' in the ant queen's nest. The light emitted by these mushrooms is light green, the light is not strong but in the With the supplement of quantity, it can basically meet the visual needs of human beings.

According to Benjamin, he originally planned to arrange magic lamps in a large area. After all, the Los Santos Group regularly sends adventure teams to undeveloped areas in the secret territory to explore resources, but this plan has attracted strong opposition from the queen ant.

The reason is that the light emitted by the magic lamp is too dazzling, which will burn the already degenerated eyes of the ants.

Ever since, at the suggestion of the queen ant, the original magic lamp was replaced with a 'night firefly', and Benjamin was happy to see the result. After all, the cost of growing this kind of glow-in-the-dark mushroom was frighteningly low.

At the same time, those exploration teams who are sent out on a regular basis are not free to eat. In addition to the magic liquid and magic cloth, there is now a gemstone named 'Black Ant Stone' in the secret area of ​​Avery. After testing , this kind of gem is very useful in alchemy, and now the profit has even gradually caught up with magic cloth and magic liquid.

Of course, as a price, Benjamin invested in building a new ore processing plant in the Avery Secret Realm, and processed the raw ore collected by the ants every day.

After Mike came to the Avery Secret Realm, he first visited the mushroom factory and the ore processing plant, and then went to the ant queen's nest, preparing to discuss the upcoming battle with the other party.

Unlike the great changes on the ground, the interior of the queen ant's nest has not changed much, and everything is the same as when Mike came here before.

The queen ants continued to stay in the cave directly below the mushroom factory, and the surrounding area was still covered with luminous mushrooms, and the dots of stars were very beautiful.

But the hole at the top of the cave that used to be used for feeding has been abandoned. Now the queen ants' food is carried by the worker ants, and the food is much better. This is one of the benefits Mike promised to the queen.

However, the change in food was not reflected in the Queen Ant's body. Her body was still as weak as when Mike first arrived. Not only did she not gain weight, but she became thinner on the contrary.

But this is not surprising. Most of the nutrients in the queen's body are used to cultivate a new generation of ants. Of course, she can't get fat.

Corresponding to her thinning, the number of ants in Avery's Secret Territory has almost doubled during this period, so to some extent, Mike has made a lot of money in the business of improving the queen's food.

Looking up at the still majestic ant queen in front of him, Mike said with a smile:

"Hello, Lilith."

"Hello, my lord."
