"Take me back to try first, maybe it's easy to talk." Lockhart thought for a while and said, even if he didn't help, it would be unlikely to have a violent conflict or even arrest himself and hand it over to the mysterious man. "If I'm not welcome, then I'll leave voluntarily."

"Then I have to go to the Ministry of Magic to get things done first." Hu Xinya said, "Will you wait for me here?"

"how long?"

"An hour or two..."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the coffee shop over there, hurry up." Lockhart put his face up again, not to take advantage, but to make eye contact and use Legilimency to make sure the other party wouldn't lie.

"Yes!" Hu Xinya shrank back with a blushing face, "I can go now."

"Come on, remember I'm waiting for you!" Lockhart squeezed her and let go of her contentedly.

Lockhart turned into a Muggle man using Potion Potion, sitting in a coffee shop just across the street from the entrance to the Ministry of Magic, drinking hot drinks and watching beauties passing by.

Inexplicably come to ask someone to help a person they don't know - a wizard is also a human being, you can't expect him to be kind and helpful, and when someone needs help, he will help him for free, not to mention helping himself against the current legal wizard official.

Does he have anything to ask for now? The Philosopher's Stone has already been sent out... I regret it, and he still wants to come back; is the unicorn's cord blood the Philosopher's Stone that they have been looking for for a long time? The ingredients are not known either; the Elder Wand, cannot be given away, at least not until Voldemort is killed. Maybe I can ask Hu Xinya to call that guy out, beat him up, and then subdue him and use the Imperius Curse to make him serve her?

It's not that simple. He doesn't even know the opponent's strength. Even if he wins, there will still be a bunch of senior brothers who will come to take revenge - wait, it seems that he thinks too much, Hu Xinya can't help him... of. When you go to bed, you treat the other party as your own woman, not to mention that Lockhart is not such a person, it is estimated that the other party is not either.

Maybe make a bunch of promises like you did to a Muggle Prime Minister. But wait until the Ministry of Magic is recaptured? But the Muggle Prime Minister is different from them. The British are directly threatened by Voldemort, while Hu Xinya and the others are not...

Thinking about the problem, time passed quickly. Before the snack with coffee is finished. Hu Xinya went into the cafe to find him.

Looking around, she couldn't find anyone, but soon her shoulder was hooked by another person and she was pulled out of the cafe.

"How did you become like this!"

"Well, I can't wait for you all the way in stealth, or show my face and fight with the guys from the Ministry of Magic while waiting for you?"

"Oh. Well, are you sure you want to go back with me to see them." After Hu Xinya said this, her expression was a little strange, as if she was going to see her parents. "Have you figured out a way to convince him to help you?"

"No, I'll talk about it when I get there." Lockrat led her to the roadside alley, "You lead the way."

"Let's talk later?" The beauty in uniform widened her eyes, "Then how do you want me to tell him."

"No need to say more, just let him help me with the disguise. I have to make it clear to him that after the disguise, I'm going to enter the Ministry of Magic to overthrow it." Lockhart shook his head. "It's good for you to be clear in your heart. There's no need to say it. If something goes wrong, you can pick yourself up."

"It seems to make sense, then you're ready."

The perfect Floo network in the UK has amazed the wizards from China who do diplomatic work. Although their own teleportation network is also being repaired and expanded, it is not good for the country to be too big. This kind of infrastructure cannot be connected to the homeland. Every corner - can Apparel to any place, which is why Hu Xinya insists on Apparating to and from get off work, because she will not have such a convenient experience when she returns to China.

They apparated to a house on the outskirts of London, and Hu Xinya took him into it...

This building is very large, with more than a dozen rooms, most of which are emitting subtle magical fluctuations. Apparently there are quite a few wizards living in it.

"The first floor is for ordinary staff." Hu Xinya said, "The second floor is for those two..."

"Ok."

Lockhart followed her upstairs. The entrance of the stairs faced a hall with a strangely shaped coffee table in the middle. There are several wisteria chairs around, and on one of them sits an old man in a plain plain cloth, with sparse white hair hanging down his shoulders like ginseng beards.

This is a very strong wizard, and Lockhart can tell at a glance that he is at least on the same level as Zhang Jianshuo, who was able to tie with Dumbledore before... It just doesn't look as energetic as Zhang Jianshuo.

These top oriental wizards who were not qualified to meet when they traveled to China last time, inexplicably ran two to the UK. Is it because wizards of this level are Chinese cabbage in China, or because they don't have a Voldemort at home, so they can run around at ease?

After the two went upstairs, they quickly attracted the attention of the old wizard. The two men, one old and one young, looked at each other, and the other nodded to Lockhart with a smile, but did not speak.

Lockhart didn't deliberately hide his breath, and quickly led another old guy out of the room.

"Why did you come here!" Zhang Jianshuo was still immortal, and his words were full of energy. "Is this where you're supposed to be, do I really dare not take you and hand it over to the Ministry of Magic."

"Senior, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to be doing well." Lockhart smiled at him, "I believe you are not such a person."

"You guys—very familiar?" Hu Xinya was a little surprised, but she was relieved when she thought about it. Powerful wizards will naturally have their own circle of communication.

"You believe there is something useful, don't act like you know me well." The old man laughed and scolded. "Hey, you look a little changed, and you feel...it seems like something is missing, but you've become a lot stronger..." His expression changed. "Did you also use some crooked way!"

Lockhart was a little shocked, you can see it!

"You said so? Have you ever seen the devil whose name can't be mentioned?"

"Yes, I saw it once from a distance. Hehe, the reason why I called Senior Brother over was because I felt that a person was not his opponent, and I was afraid that he would be disadvantageous to me." The old Taoist asked curiously: "That person is so strong, is he? Didn't you kill a lot of wizards and absorb the essence of the victims? Did you use the same spell?"

"No, it's not like that." Lockhart shook his head. "He won't do something to you out of nowhere. The senior brother you're talking about is this old gentleman, is he the one who is good at disguise?"

"How do you know!" The old wizard admitted slightly dissatisfied, "Xinya, did you tell him?"

"Uh... Yes, we have some friendship. He asked me if there was a way to change my appearance without magic..." Hu Xinya said weakly, "I'll bring him to see you."

"Don't be so scary, let me introduce to you, this is the kid who gave me the life extension stone... But it seems that he is wanted by the British Ministry of Magic. His own identity has been impersonated." Zhang Jianshuo introduced with a smile. . "This is my senior brother. He is a few decades older than me, and his body is a little inflexible. I heard that you gave me a stone that can prolong my life and ran over to use it. The effect is good."

"Really." The sorcerer known as Big Brother looked at Lockhart from head to toe, his face slightly improved. "Little friend, do you still have the Life Extension Stone? Give me another piece, and I will help."

Life stone? That's what they call the Philosopher's Stone, which is quite appropriate. It's a pity, not only is it gone, he himself almost couldn't survive because he gave it away twice.

"No, it looks like that piece has been used up." Lockhart shook his head helplessly. "But my friend and I are trying to figure out how to make it and the ingredients soon, so we can give you one..."

"Hey, then..." The old guy made no secret of his disdain.

"Actually, we have already made some semi-finished products, and we are still missing the most important raw material." Lockhart took out a small gray-white magic stone that Snape gave him. "This semi-finished product has side effects, very strong side effects, you can take a look."

"Really, let me see." Zhang Jianshuo walked to Lockhart with great interest~lightnovelpub.net~ took the small stone and observed it carefully.

"Then let's wait until it's made." The old wizard said with a hint of arrogance, "If you disguise it so much that it can't be washed off by water, and spells can't be seen through, it will cost a lot of heaven and earth, and I don't have it either. How much stock, let alone let my old bones help you by hand..."

"Tsk tsk, it's really a half-finished product." Zhang Jianshuo said with a smile, "Young man, my senior brother has such a temper, but he is telling the truth. He is very lazy now, and it is indeed a lot of things that disguise needs to spend."

"Well, it's alright-" Lockhart shook his head annoyed, it seemed he had to figure out a way, this room was not protected by the Crimson Loyalty Charm, maybe he could trick the old guy surnamed Zhang away, and then force his senior brother into submission? The biggest consequence of this plan is that the opponent may be annoyed and jump out to help Voldemort at a critical moment in the battle... and although this guy looks like he will fall apart when he moves, he may have a lively fight.

Lockhart was calculating whether he was the opponent of the old man in front of him. Zhang Jianshuo's face suddenly changed - he stood beside Lockhart and felt that he had lost control of the magic in the surrounding air. There is only one kind of phenomenon. Possibility: The opponent's influence on magic is much stronger than him, that is, the affinity of magic is far higher than him!

How is this possible? It took him decades to temper his body, and it took him decades to cultivate his magic affinity to the level it is today. After only one year of seeing the other party, he has reached a higher realm? Could it be that he casually told him some tips and conjectures, and the other party actually figured out the correct way to exercise magic affinity?

Is it a by-product of reaching this state that the other party looks younger? Did he know the result before he took out a treasure like the Philosopher's Stone as a gift?
