Chapter 698: Sand in the Moon and Forest in a Bottle(1/2)

In the evening of that day, Ms. Bones and several students walked out of Gringott surrounded by a group of fairies. The reporters who received the news early immediately surrounded him. The flash was shining dazzlingly. Ms. Bones announced to the public that the negotiations were going well and had reached a consensus on some issues.

The fairy spokesperson of Guling Pavilion agreed with this statement and gave an explanation for the recent giant dragon escape incident.

"That dragon has long been overwhelmed. If you know something, you will find that the Gringott is looking for an alternative recently. Yes, the dragon has been transferred to another place and is waiting to be processed. Sphinx is responsible for guarding the most important vaults during this period. We have considered putting monsters in fairy armor, with defense comparable to that of the giant dragon."

When a reporter asked the reason why the dragon escaped, the fairy spokesperson replied stiffly:

"The Presbyterian Council temporarily decided to transfer the dragon to avoid scaring the noble guests. Unfortunately an accident occurred in the middle of the journey. The person in charge of this matter was an outsider who was not familiar with the method of controlling the dragon... Cross-eyed Bodrick, he unfortunately died of an accident, and the specific details were not to be told."

At the end of the temporary press conference, Harry and others came out to meet Ron. Ron proposed to have a drink together, and a group of people rushed into the Poyi Bar. The bar was crowded with staff talking about this. Just when they were at a loss, Neville poked his head out of a hidden corner and waved hard at them.

"Harry, Ron--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After everyone sat down, Ron was very dissatisfied with Draco Malfoy sitting next to him. "I thought you were home." He said with a frown.

"The negotiation is not over yet, of course I can't leave." Draco glanced at Ron with contempt, causing him to stare. "Yes, you are excluded from the negotiation and know nothing, so naturally you don't know the role I play in it."

Ron was stunned and looked at Harry. Harry nodded reluctantly and admitted his role.

"Well, uh, then who can tell me what happened in the negotiations? Why did a one-stop run out?"

Harry briefly described the entire negotiation process.

"It doesn't sound unexpected." Tonks said, "Oh, thank you, Tom." She took the wine brought by the bar owner Tom and gave it to everyone, bent down and fell a bunch of crystal grapes from her pocket, which looked very attractive.

"Oh." Tonks flattened his mouth, "I bought it from Weasley Magic Tricks. You can try it. It is called Duowei Grape, which is a bit like Bibi Weiwei Bean."

Neville picked up one, "Purple cabbage," he said with a look of gratitude. Hannah also picked up one, shook her ponytail, "Pumpkin pie flavor." "Spinach tastes good?" Collins said with a small bite. "Celery." Harry's face wrinkled, and after that, he picked up a cup of water to rinse his mouth. Hermione and Ginny heard that it was something brought from Weasley's magic tricks, and they didn't even touch it.

After the episode, they remembered the topic just now.

"It's definitely the cross-eyed trick," Ron said confidently: "They want to scare people with dragons, but they miscalculated. As long as Ms. Bones sends a signal, the Aurors outside will rush in immediately, right, Collins?"

Collins nodded.

"What after that?" Neville asked curiously, "After the dragon flew away, you talked for another two hours."

Harry turned to Hermione, "No accident happened afterwards. Most of the time, Hermione was talking, occasionally stopping to ask Ms. Bones's opinion, or answering questions raised by the goblins. They often argued for a word for more than ten minutes, or even half an hour, and I felt like I was back in the magic history class."

Everyone laughed. Hermione rolled her eyes and picked out a few valuable pieces of information. With her explanation, everyone almost sorted out the key points of the negotiations.

“We avoided some difficult problems,” Hermione said. “They are knots of hostile wizards and goblins and will not be easily untied. Maybe the professor will come forward in the end.”

They mentioned what the goblin spokesman said. "Great Guest," Ron showed a disgusting expression, "I have never heard goblins speak so beautifully."

"If you rent a valuable vault in Gringott and save a lot of money in it," Draco Malfoy showed a mocking expression, "you'll be tired of listening."

"How much money do you have? Just yourself?" Ron countered: "I have more than one Gallon at my disposal."

Draco Malfoy breathing room.

"Where did you get so much money?" he couldn't help asking. Even for a while, Garon would be a huge sum of money.

"I have worked hard to save it," Ron said without hesitation: "The prize money for the tournament, the authorization fee for the game video, and the paper manuscript fee are one by one," he slapped his head, "I have also deposited a lot of money at the Muggle newspaper. If the negotiation is completed, I wonder if I can come to ask for it?" he said uncertainly.

"You fell into the eyes of money?" Ginny said.

"That's what I deserve." Ron said dissatisfiedly: "Do I give you less gifts every year?"

Ginny pouted. Draco said proudly from the side: "When you graduate, the family will take out a lot of money, a lot of money, do you know?

At least tens of thousands of gallons…”

"Does this have a relationship with you?" Harry asked disgustedly.

"Yeah, Harry also has a lot of money in his vault, but he never mentions it." Ron said immediately.

"Oh, please," said Hermione impatiently, "When did you compare this? I don't think money can solve the problem of what we are facing.

"Of course, small families don't understand the benefits of money." Draco laughed: "My father has a relationship with many outstanding therapists.

——Maybe in a few years, I will become the director of the first Wizard Muggle United Hospital.”

"Is that right?" Hermione counterattacked sharply, "So can the heir of the Malfoy family, who is a big player, tell me, if this business has a great future, why no one else has entered? Will the face of the Malfoy family be? Or are the money and power you are proud of to open the way?

Oh, I almost forgot that Malfoy had the option of money left."

Draco's face turned gloomy because Hermione was telling the truth.

The wealth and reputation of the Malfoy family shrank significantly after the war, and their influence was not as good as before. The only reason why there was no pure blood family involved in the hospital was that they all believed that United Hospital was the compensation for Lucius' undercover agents by Professor Hepp.

But the truth is-

Draco remembered his father's words. "He never promised, and he might not even know that this happened. It would be his reward for me to protect the Malfoy family." Lucius said in the study.

"That-"

"Because of you. The magic world was not exposed at that time. You were the only ones he came into contact with, and he was happy to support you." Lucius analyzed calmly: "The wealth accumulated by more than ten generations of the Malfoy family and the network of relationships that were broken with Muggles... will make this simple, but remember, you are not the only candidate, so I will try to promote this in public and secretly warn some pure blood families." He sneered twice.

"The noble pure blood family? Now pure blood is worthless and has become a residual blood family."

In the next few days, the negotiations were on track. With the strong mediation of everyone, the two sides entered the substantive negotiation process, and the difficulties were overcome one by one. As Hermione expected, there were only some extremely stubborn difficulties, such as the ownership of items created by the fairy, and whether the fairy could hold a magic wand.

"Those are questions of detail, and details don't matter to me. We're talking about whether the goblins should join the Pan-Magic Alliance - with most intelligent creatures joining." Felix appeared in another negotiation, and he said in his seat.

"The goblins can hold a wand, but what they get must be cost. The day when the goblins hold a wand is the day when the goblins have a special method of forging metal is made public." He turned to Hermione, "write this in the note of the terms."

"Oh, yes, professor!" Hermione said hurriedly, adding notes to the blank space of the parchment.

There was an embarrassing silence. The goblins and wizards present were not satisfied with the result and felt that they were at a disadvantage. However, after careful consideration, this was almost the best way to bypass the controversy.

The goblin has theoretically the right that has been fought for for hundreds of years. This right was previously restricted by the legal situation, and non-wizards cannot hold a magic wand, and today it has opened a hole. But the price is amazing. What is the special method of the goblin forging metal?

It is related to the geek's talent and the special magic system of the geek. When all this is cracked, the geek will no longer have secrets.

If someone else said this, the goblins would probably sneer at it, or even curse, and look at the wizard with contempt, because the goblins were deeply proud of their magic and would never believe that anyone could do it. But this sentence was spoken from a great wizard comparable to Dumbledore, and they would believe it.

Especially the great wizard has a precedent, almost independently creating (or restoring the lost) magic literature system. He is only twenty-six or seven years old, and it may have been less than ten years for studying ancient magic literature, so this statement seems to be extremely important.

The fairies looked at each other and saw hesitation in their own eyes.

Some smart wizards also thought of these. However, their thinking angles are different from those of fairies: the swords and armor created by fairies are called magic weapons, and silver weapons are also widely popular with wizards. If they can obtain this technology, they will be happy to exchange them.

Previously, wizards could not copy the magic of the fairy at all.

Several wizards looked at Felix with fiery eyes. Faced with such huge interests, they were all determined to provoke a war, but when they met Felix's cold eyes, the greed in their hearts was instantly extinguished.

After another fierce round of negotiations, the fairy agreed to join the Pan-Magic Alliance and still retained the right to speak internally, but the external caliber is consistent with the wizard.

"We will reserve the right to appeal, and we signed a contract two hundred years ago." The fairy elder said half relaxed and half unwillingly.

Felix didn't say anything, but the idea of ​​creating a magic city in his heart became stronger and stronger. The wizard world was mixed with each other, and pulling out a thread could lead to the entire magic world. Felix didn't want to change the wizard's living environment drastically. This is not necessarily a good thing. He just wanted to paint on a piece of white paper and could repeatedly wipe and apply it. The existing place could not withstand the tossing. The best way was to find another way. At the same time, the wizard formally contacted the Muggle government in the name of the Ministry of Magic, but still did not talk about the main business. This was equivalent to the follow-up of Felix's first visit to the queen with his students last time. Muggle Prime Minister and Zhang from the Ministry of Magic did not show up, but sent officials and representatives respectively, but the nominal specifications were much higher.

In a situation similar to the government report, the two sides introduced their respective development history, culture, concepts, and technology (magic) in lengthy and solemn language.

The senior official sent by the Ministry of Magic was Mr. Weasley. With the reorganization of the Ministry of Magic, his status also rose. During the meeting, Mr. Weasley showed a strong interest in a series of technological products. After learning that Mr. Weasley is the wizard father who is currently mentioned in the popular newspapers in the series of news about the wizard school, the government staff temporarily decided to give him a set of wrenches, which brought various models of bolts and nuts.

"Thank you so much," said Mr. Weasley enthusiastically, "I didn't bring my personal gift, but when I came, Ms. Borns, the Minister of Magic, commissioned me to give me two gifts to the Muggle government-" The box opened, and it contained a plain-shaped dish and a gorgeous crystal bottle.

There was a miniature jungle landscape in the crystal bottle. The government representative looked at it twice and then stopped paying attention. He turned to the gray dishes, with broken and faded patterns on it, with no aesthetic sense.

"Uh," the government representative was a little confused, "Is this dish of special significance?"

It seems to have nothing to do with art. They have also prepared gifts, which are carefully selected from the museum. They are of great collection value in both artistic and historical sense.

“It doesn’t matter what it looks like, what matters is the origin,” Mr. Weasley said. “It comes from the moon.”

Government representatives widened their eyes.

"Moon - the moon?

"Yes." Mr. Weasley nodded and smiled, but at this moment, the government representative felt that his smile became unfathomable, which was in sharp contrast to his vivid expressions when he listened to the report.

When the meeting ended, the government representative immediately went to a conference room and accepted questioning from all cabinet members. The Prime Minister seemed impatient, "How is it? What are their reactions?" He turned to look at a very inconspicuous person behind the representative, "You are the best psychological analyst in the country,

What conclusions do you have?”

The psychoanalyst was stunned and dazed.

"It may take some time for him to adapt to the psychological impact of magic, please say me." It means that he opened the box, and as before, everyone was attracted by the things in the box.

"The view in the bottle?" The Prime Minister glanced at the uncharacteristic dishes, and judged that it was probably a cultural relic. He focused on the exquisite crystal bottle and lowered his head to look carefully: "Interesting, I saw a bird. Will it move again? "Others were surprised.

It means pursing his lips.

"Maybe different from what you think. This is indeed the function of magic, but it is also mixed with something else," he said with a strange expression: "It is a real forest inside, and the traceless stretching spell is used - one that you can understand as a magic application of space expansion technology."

The pause button seemed to be pressed in the conference room, and the Prime Minister kept bent down and turned his head to stare at him.

"It is said that this technology is uh, I mean the application of this magic is quite mature. Of course, the magic on this bottle we have can only last for a week. When they visited last time, they heard that the Council was going to break ground to build a garden, so they gave us one..."

"Did you give us a garden in a bottle?" a MP moaned.

"It's very simple to use," the representative continued to say expressionlessly, although his voice was a little unconfident, "within a week, smashing the bottle in the middle of the scheduled venue, the magic garden will be restored to its original size, with trees, flowers, and fountains inside. It's no different from reality.

Silence. The ministers in the room were thinking about the meaning of this magic, and the more they thought about it, the more frightened he became. After a while, the Prime Minister forced himself to ask, "Where is the other one?" He found that his throat was a little dry.

"Other." The representative said hesitantly, his attitude made the hearts of others hang up. Could it be that this plate is also extraordinary, hiding magic that they don't know?

"That dish is very ordinary, without magic, the key is its origin. It is said that, ahem, I can't judge, so I can only relay the words of the wizard, "It means clearing my throat," Mr. Felix Happ landed on the moon a few days ago and was lucky enough to find a wizard ruin.

"Aren't you kidding?" the Prime Minister interrupted.

"Maybe it was the wizard who was joking with us, but it needs to be judged by you." The representative said: "This matter was widely publicized in the wizard society. Hep was the wizard professor who visited last time, claiming that he was not prepared to land on the moon for the first time, so he only searched the surrounding area in a sloppy manner...
