The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts - Chapter 688
Emotions are never something that humans can easily control.
In fact, throughout human history, there are very few people who can truly control their emotions perfectly.
Other times, more individuals are basically controlled by emotions.
So Norton’s persuading Wendell to stay calm was more of a consolation.
Link Foley, or what Newland is using now, is a total conspiracy.
Since now is not the best time to conquer Beauxbatons, besieging him, giving him huge mental pressure, making him tired, exhausted, and collapsing under a long-term high-pressure environment is the best way to strike.
This can ensure that the defenders in Beauxbatons can be in the most exhausted state when they can really launch a general attack on Beauxbatons.
This trick works quite well for Beauxbatons who are still young, even in their adolescence.
Even Norton had to admit that the person who came up with this method is definitely a genius.
With a sigh, Norton stopped trying to persuade Wendell.
After he returned to his desk, he said while looking through the famous directory:
“The problem with food shouldn’t be a big problem. As wizards, even if we really use up all the food in Beauxbatons, we can use Transfiguration to turn things like leaves and bark into roast chicken and roast duck. Just not feeling well.
The real key materials are the alchemical cannonballs used for defense, and the alchemical consumables to maintain the operation of the alchemical rifled guns and other protection facilities.
Can our suppliers still supplement us with this part of things?
If we can, we are even willing to pay more Galleons. ”
“No way, Headmaster Norton.” Wendell gritted his teeth and said resentfully, “Did I not say it just now? The space around Beauxbatons has been blocked, and even house-elves can’t use the Apparition Charm. already.”
“Of course I know, so I mean, can they be sent in by other means? For example, digging tunnels, or walking by water at night or something? Hehe, don’t look at me with that kind of eyes, my method sounds although Some are stupid and rudimentary, but in fact many times, this rudimentary method is the most effective, because everyone thinks that the other party should not be so stupid.”
“That 80% is also impossible! Because Lionheart Street and other wizard markets are also the main targets of the wizards of the country. And now, all of them are over.”
“Oh? How did you know? I remember that we all stayed in Beauxbatons Castle recently, and we didn’t have any records of going out, right?”
“Yeah, yes, we did not go out. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have any channels to receive information from outside.”
As Wendell spoke, he took out a bundle of newspapers tied with rubber bands from his arms, spread them out and smoothed them out on the table in front of Norton.
This series of operations made Norton stunned.
He had just taught Wendell that sometimes a ‘dumb way’ is the best way, but he didn’t expect Wendell to use an example to teach him again.
How to get information without leaving home?
Of course, it’s reading the newspaper!
Norton felt a little ugly, and muttered in his mouth:
“I thought it had come to this juncture, and the French Magic Post should have ceased publication.”
“In fact, not only did they not stop, but they became more diligent.”
Hearing Wendell say this, Norton lowered his head in surprise, only to realize that the newspapers in front of him were actually published by the French Magic Post yesterday and today.
And the content above is embarrassingly embarrassing.
In chronological order, the core content of its reports can be sorted as follows:
The first newspaper, published the morning before, “stupid **** are threatening to take our toilets.”
The second newspaper, published in the early hours of this morning, “A large number of dog groups from China are gathering at their kennel center!”
The third newspaper, published this morning, “The terrifying ogres have officially launched an attack on the closed French Ministry of Magic!”
The fourth newspaper, published at noon today, “Commissioner Link Foley of the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom of China has led the army to occupy the French Ministry of Magic and is heading towards Lionheart Street. We will defend our homeland to the death!”
The fifth paper, published a few hours ago, “His Majesty Link Foley has ruled his loyal Lionheart Street!”
Seeing this, Norton let go of the newspaper in his hand, letting it pile up messily on the table, and then waved his arms, looking a little overwhelmed.
After a while, Norton managed to calm down and said with a wry smile:
“There’s always a joke among Muggles that a third of men in France went to heaven with their Joan of Arc, a third of men went to **** with their Emperor Napoleon’s expedition, and the last third One of the men also died in the trenches of Verdun. As for the rest, of course, they were all women.
I always thought it was a simple joke, at least those people laughed at French Muggles. Our French wizards should still be more ‘men’.
But I never thought that the French wizards and French Muggles have the same virtue! ”
“It’s inevitable,” Wendell shook his head and said, “After all, thanks to the open environment of the French magic world, wizards and Muggles have been living together for a long time, and it is normal to be influenced by Muggles. . But I don’t think your focus should be on this trivial matter, you need to look at the current state of Lionheart Street and other wizarding markets.”
When Norton heard this, he did not continue to flip through the newspapers, but slumped on the soft chair.
The situation of the French wizard market has been clearly described in the magical photos in the “French Magic Post”.
Especially Lionheart Street.
As early as the beginning of the Furstenberg Square riot, Lionheart Street, the most prosperous commercial street in the French magic circle, has become hell.
A large number of thugs stormed Lionheart Street and began to purge everyone they believed to be the lackeys of the French Ministry of Magic.
Followed by the dark wizards entrenched near Lionheart Street.
Holding up the names of the thugs, they infiltrated Lionheart Street, and immediately began to take advantage of the fire.
When the normal riots gradually ceased, Lionheart Street has almost been reduced to ruins. Nearly 80% of the shops have been beaten, smashed and looted. The business system of the French magic world has been completely paralyzed, and it has become a stronghold for dark wizards and thugs.
The thugs took advantage of the particularity of Lionheart Street, wantonly lying on the French magic circle to **** blood, and perfectly controlled public opinion.
So in a sense, it is actually a good thing that Link Foley led people to break through Lionheart Street, and it can even be said to be a kind of liberation.
At least Lionheart Street is much better in the hands of the Ministry of Magic than in the hands of those thugs.
But this is only for ordinary wizards who are subject to thugs and dark wizards.
For Norton, this was rather bad news.
You must know that almost all of Beauxbatons’ supplies are replenished through Lionheart Street.
This supplement didn’t stop even when Lionheart Street was occupied by the mob.
Because the amount is too large, even the thugs can’t ignore the profits.
It’s just that there must be no such supplement now.
The Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom will not make money for the enemy because of huge profits. If Link Foley knows about this, he will be skinned and cramped!
Norton frowned and said to Wendell:
“Turn down the reaction range of the alchemy rifled guns, don’t let them aim at the enemy in the air, try to save ammunition, at present, it is estimated that our ammunition will not be replenished for a long time in the future, I Don’t want to wait until Link Foley actually shows up and we don’t even have a cannonball left.”
“What about other protection spells?” Wendell nodded. “For example, should the frequency of energy such as the outer protective cover be lowered? This can also save some energy costs.”
“No no no! Energy can’t be saved in this regard. Believe it or not? As long as we dare to lower the energy output of the protective cover, the group of Aurors outside will dare to fake it and directly break our defense.”
After Norton finished speaking, a series of explosions came from outside the window.
The expressions of the two in the office changed, and when they looked up, they saw Newland and the others roaring over Beauxbatons again, starting a new round of flirting attacks.
And compared to before, Newland and others have gone too far this time.
Because while they were attacking, they were still throwing a huge amount of scraps of paper on Beauxbatons.
Norton opened the window and clicked his finger lightly, and a large number of pieces of paper flew into the office automatically.
He looked at the piece of paper in his hand, and the expression on his face became more and more ugly.
Because these surrender papers are not only printed with ordinary content, such as “surrender without killing”, but also painted on the French Ministry of Magic in the form of magical portraits.
But anyone who still thinks that he is a French wizard will itch with anger when he sees such a magical picture.
After all, although the French Ministry of Magic is not powerful, that is also the belief of French wizards.
Most importantly, Norton knew that most of the patterns drawn on the paper were real.
Taking a long sigh, Norton said slightly sullenly:
“It’s a matter of heart and mind!”
“Principal Norton, we don’t think we can make it for too long under such harassment.” Wendell also said with a sullen face, “It’s not a matter of enough supplies, but the mind and spirit of other students and professors simply can’t stand it. s attack.”
“Wait, wait, let me think of a way, there will always be a way, there will always be…”
Norton leaned on the back of the soft chair and waved his hands weakly.
His voice got softer and softer, and eventually it was so weak that even Wendell couldn’t hear it.
…
“Outside the number! Outside the number! Commissioner Link Foley has led the Ministry of Magic’s coalition to conquer the French Ministry of Magic! The French frogs are completely vulnerable! We have won!”
On Diagon Alley, young men in newsboy caps waving the latest edition of the Daily Prophet, and usually snorted across the street.
At this moment, there are not many people on Diagon Alley.
In order to launch a war against the French Ministry of Magic, Link took away a large part of the young and middle-aged men in the magical world of the country, which directly led to the fact that most of the active people on the street were only the old and the weak.
And even among the elderly, weak, women and children, a large number of them are in a very bad mood.
After all, their men were thrown into that flesh-and-blood mill called ‘war’, and it is still unknown whether they will be able to come back.
After the initial excitement faded and the fear of the unknown shrouded their heads again, they naturally cast their resentment on the Ministry of Magic of the country.
This also directly leads to the fact that the entire Diagon Alley is now somewhat dead.
Most of the people walking on the street had gloomy faces and hurried steps, as if they were in a hurry to seek revenge.
At this special moment, people who are noisy on the street like young newsboy hats will naturally arouse the disgust of many people.
Because this will make their already depressed mood even more irritable.
However, when they really heard what the young man in the newsboy hat was shouting, everyone was stunned.
The place where the young man with the newsboy hat passed was suddenly silent, followed by a series of deafening cheers from the surrounding crowd.
Many people began chasing the newsboy hat young man, eager to buy the latest edition of the Daily Prophet from him.
And more people hurried to the nearby shops with Floo network fireplaces.
They are more rational, and they are naturally aware that people like the young man with a newsboy hat only serve as a notification, and if they want to buy the Daily Prophet from him, it will not show at all.
If you want to get the latest and most complete news, the best way must be to go home quickly.
You must know that the “Daily Prophet” must attach great importance to such important information about the results of the front-line battle. Now the newspapers that recorded these things may have already been sent to their homes.
The noise from the street also spread to the Leaky Cauldron.
At this moment, the Leaky Cauldron has been completely renewed.
Under the attack of the bar owner Tom’s Kim Galleon, UU Reading www. The construction team of uukanshu.com, which is composed of all fairies, has completed the renovation of the original ruined Cauldron Bar in less than a week.
The new Leaky Cauldron Bar adopts a Viking style as a whole, and some modern alchemy equipment is integrated into it to improve its practicability.
The effect created by this combination is unique even among the new bars and teahouses in Diagon Alley.
And this directly caused the business of Leaky Cauldron to get better and better.
Those who didn’t get on the battlefield, either because of age or disability, gathered in the Leaky Cauldron almost every day, complaining about Commissioner Link Foley’s blindness, and praying for the war on the front lines. on.
This can make old Tom happy.
You know, the food that best accompanies wine is emotions.
“Call—”
Taking a deep breath, Tom, the bar owner, glanced at the lively scene outside the window, smiled knowingly, and then focused his attention on the newspaper in front of him again.
As one of the most well-informed people in the entire Diagon Alley, and even in the entire wizarding world, he has naturally received information about the collapse of the French Ministry of Magic, and even today’s latest edition of ” He also got his hands on the Daily Prophet.
