The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts
Chapter 571: The hillbilly is me
Emily was still smiling as she watched from a distance.
But when Link and Dumbledore actually walked in, Emily turned her face hard, and turned her head on purpose, as if she didn't want to pay attention to Link.
Link knew very well that it was Emily who was still mad at him for rejecting Emily to follow him last night.
Fortunately, Link has a lot of experience dealing with such situations.
When he came up, he directly hugged Emily, picked her up and spun her around twice, until he almost threw off the round-brimmed hat on Emily's head. Its put down.
Then the two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
Dumbledore watching this scene also had a smile on his aunt's face.
But the old Kled standing on the side of the carriage was different.
He didn't pay attention to Link and Emily's situation almost the whole time, and his eyes were fixed on Dumbledore.

After Link and Emily were reconciled, old Klie said:
"Master, is Professor Dumbledore going to France with us this time?"
Link nodded and said:
"Yeah, this is what Professor Dumbledore strongly requested, and it's not easy for me to refuse."
"Oh, so that's the case. That must be because Professor Dumbledore was tired of staying at Hogwarts on weekdays, so he wanted to come out and walk around." Old Creed said with a blank face, "Quiet and thoughtful, It's normal, I often have this kind of thought. It's just... Professor Dumbledore is a bit too old, right? I've been exhausted along the way, I'm afraid I can't support it!"
As soon as these words came out, Link didn't say anything, just looked at Dumbledore with a half-smile.
Old Clay's hostility to Dumbledore can be said to be undisguised at all.
This is actually quite understandable.
Although Link and Emily are not officially married yet, they are just engaged.
But old Clay and Mrs. Foley were eager to see their children.
The current trip to France is obviously a very good opportunity.
That's why Mrs. Foley didn't ask Link and Emily to go home this time, and she didn't even follow her.
And now, even Mrs. Foley herself was afraid of affecting the young couple, so she didn't come on purpose.
Just sent old Klie as a representative.
Dumbledore, the old guy, came to be a light bulb?
What's the point of this?
Can't you see the prosperous and prosperous children of the Foley family?
Link wanted to know how Dumbledore would deal with such a menacing old Clay.
But Dumbledore is the one who has been criticized by a series of journalists such as Rita Skeeter for years of black writing.
Faced with this embarrassing scene, he is also experienced.
What he did was, completely ignoring Old Kled's questioning, turned his head to look at the carriage beside everyone, and said with some emotion:
"This is a carriage that can only be rationed by the Minister of Magic when he travels, and you actually got it out."
Hearing this, Link was happy.
Link had to admit that Dumbledore was indeed a smart man.
He knew very well that at most, Old Klie was just saying a few strange words in his mouth.
Nothing further can be done.
Because, this is not good for Link!
And this is indeed the case. Being surrounded by Dumbledore, Old Clay also naturally changed the subject, touching the carriage behind him and said smoothly:
"You really know the goods! This is what we specially transported from the Ministry of Magic! This carriage is equipped with a teleportation array with a door key, and it can perform ultra-long-distance space teleportation by itself! Not only that, its outer shell It is also made of precious mithril alloy, which has super magic and physical resistance on the premise of retaining the lightweight characteristics! It can be said to be the safest car in the world!
Not only that…"
Old Klie took off the Foley family crest brooch that was exactly the same as Link and Emily, and said proudly, "And this, don't look at it as ordinary, it can also be fitted on it. We have a space coordinate sending device! As long as we want, we can send the coordinates of our location to the Ministry of Magic and Forlì Castle at any time. Then, the Aurors and hunters who are on standby there can pass the transnational Floo for the first time. The net arrives at our side and supports us!
This is all Auror alchemy technology! "
After saying that, Old Kled slapped his mouth, looking like he was a big admirer of Auror technology.
Because the meaning revealed in old Klie's words is.
The Ministry of Magic was now under Link's complete and profound control.
So that everything in the Ministry of Magic, including the most advanced military technology, has been stolen (crossed out) and misappropriated by the Foley family!
That's the show off at Chiguoguo, well, warning!
But Dumbledore had to admit it too.
For now, Link is the person best suited to steer the ship of the Ministry of Magic as it continues to sail through the coming storm.
In this respect, even he himself was no match for Link.
Because of him, he is not good at ZZ infighting!
That's why he'd ousted the Minister of Magic position that Wizengamoor had almost shoved into his hands more than a decade ago.
Dumbledore knew very well that he couldn't fight Wizengamore and the old ghosts in the Ministry of Magic at all!
Forced repression is possible.
But then how should he deal with the following public backlash?
So he became Minister of Magic.
There will only be one result.
That is to be the idol of Wizengamot held high above his head.
It looks radiant, but in fact, it is just a puppet at the mercy of Wizengamot.
This is not what Dumbledore wants to see.
For now, Link is doing pretty well.
This also gave Dumbledore confidence in him.
Thinking so, Dumbledore smiled wryly and praised:
"I really didn't expect you to be so well prepared. As a housekeeper, you are absolutely competent. With these arrangements, we should have no problem with this trip."
Link smiled slightly and continued:
"Professor Dumbledore, I have to correct you. Clay is a really important elder to me, not a housekeeper. In fact, I persuaded him a long time ago that he should retire and enjoy himself. It's a pity that he was always unwilling."
As soon as this remark came out, Dumbledore was also very face-saving, and generously said a mistake.
After listening to the conversation between the two of them, Old Klie rubbed his hands in excitement.
Even the look in Dumbledore's eyes softened a lot.
"Oh, don't say that some of these are gone, let's get in the car!"
Old Klie rubbed his somewhat red and hot face, and said quite excitedly.
After saying this, he ignored Link and Dumbledore's response, and directly pulled Link and Emily into the carriage.
When it was Dumbledore's turn, Dumbledore waved to Kled:
"I won't go in and disturb the world of the two of them. I just happen to be curious about the scars on your face. Let's have a good chat in front of us. I think these scars must have their own stories. "
Old Klie touched the hideous scar on his face and licked his lips happily.
Dumbledore's words really scratched his itch.
For him, those scars are his military badges!
His favorite thing to do on weekdays is to tell the new recruits of the hunter regiment the origin of these scars on his body.
Even Link heard these stories when he was young.
That is to say, now that Link has grown up and his status is different, Old Kled didn't continue talking.
Now he has a new audience, and he is a big man like Dumbledore, which makes old Clay very happy.
He quickly helped Dumbledore into the carriage, sat beside him, and then asked again:
"Are you sure you don't want to go in and sit? To be honest, our position is really not comfortable. The space shuttle anti-shake array method of this carriage does not wrap the seats here."
"It's okay, I'm not that old yet. And what I'm thinking is..." Dumbledore smiled lightly, "Why don't I drive it? I know there is a place that should be suitable for us. If you can stay temporarily, let me take you there."
Old Klie's eyes straightened, and he said subconsciously:
"Come here? Can you do it? This is a high-level carriage at the ministerial level of the Ministry of Magic! The operation mode is completely different from that of an ordinary carriage!"
"Trust me, Clay, I've driven a wagon like this before."
Dumbledore spoke confidently, but when he heard this, Old Clay became more suspicious.
After all, with Dumbledore's lofty status, it would be too outrageous to personally drive the carriage.
Seeing this, Dumbledore had to continue to explain:
"That was more than ten years ago. At that time, Wizengamo gave me a carriage like this, but it didn't give me a dedicated driver, so I had to get started myself."
Old Clay shook his head quickly.
He would never entrust such an important matter that might affect the lives of Link and Emily on an outsider.
Even if the man was Dumbledore, and Dumbledore could actually drive.
This is a matter of principle.
So he has made up his mind, no matter how soft and hard Dumbledore is, he will not agree.
It's a pity that his decision was made too early.
Because soon, Link, who heard the movement, got out of the carriage.
After listening roughly to Old Clay's description of Dumbledore's request, a strange smile flashed on Link's face.
Then, under the unbelievable gaze of Old Klie, he nodded lightly and agreed.
…
ten minutes later.
Dumbledore swapped places with Old Clay.
He glanced at Old Kelie with a half-smile, and looked at Old Kelie who was cradling his chest in anger, and only then did he shake the reins in his hands lightly.
soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The four Pegasus in front of the carriage received the order, snorted a few times, and rushed out with fluttering wings.
Pulled by the Pegasus, the carriage lifted off smoothly and circled constantly over the Black Lake.
At the same time, the complicated inscriptions engraved on the surface of the carriage also began to flash with a faint blue magical light.
After a violent space fluctuation, the space around the carriage began to distort, and finally disappeared into the air with the carriage as a whole.
The space shock resistance of this minister-level flying carriage is indeed outstanding. Link and Emily in the carriage only felt that after the car body shook slightly, the scenery outside the car window suddenly changed, from the original castle, forest and lake. It became a sea of orange-red trees.
"Oh-"
Emily was lying on the window and couldn't help exclaiming.
The scene in front of you is really spectacular!
The bright maple forests like a sea of fire spread all the way to the horizon, and the soaring 'firelight' even reflected the clouds in the sky into burning clouds!
But this is not normal!
Maples generally only turn this beautiful orange-red color in the fall.
But it's just summer in the country, it makes no sense that France, which is not far away, is still autumn!
Emily looked at Link suspiciously, hoping that Link could give her an explanation.
Link closed his eyes for a moment, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said with a smile:
"It's an enchantment."
"Enchantment?"
"That's right, if I'm not wrong, the area we're in is all wrapped up in a magical enchantment that controls the climate and keeps plants alive. That's why those maple trees can always stay alive. in such bright colors."
Emily's slightly open mouth was even more shocked when she heard the words, and she couldn't help saying:
"This is... too luxurious, isn't it?"
Link pursed his lips and nodded, he thought so too.
This kind of enchantment that controls the climate and sustains plants has little effect on defense, and at best it has the effect of a Muggle Repelling Charm, which can prevent Muggles from intruding.
But its cost is almost equal to the most advanced anti-apparition spell in the Ministry of Magic.
A similar enchantment Link had actually seen at Malfoy's house.
But the Malfoy family also applied the enchantment to their manor house and the attached small garden. The scope of UU reading www.uukanshu.com is not very large.
But at this point, the Malfoy family also held banquets to show off all day long, asking all pure-blood families to visit their manor that is like spring all year round.
But those pure-blood families still eat this set, and they are all shocked by Malfoy's "luxury", which makes the Malfoys out of the limelight.
At this moment, compared with the endless sea of trees in front of him, the range of the enchantment of the Malfoy family is simply not worth mentioning!
"Tut tut-"
Link smacked his mouth.
Such a large-scale barrier, even someone like him who has mastered the entire country's economy is not willing to build it.
"Watch the bumps, we're about to land."
Dumbledore's voice sounded at the right time, and then the carriage began to descend slowly.
After descending to a certain height, Link felt that the whole carriage seemed to have passed through an invisible barrier, and then an off-white manor built between the sea of trees suddenly appeared in Link and Emily within sight.
"Well! It seems that the barrier on the outside of the tree sea is just a cosmetic effect. The outer layer of this manor is also wrapped with various restrictions such as the Crimson Loyalty Charm and the Anti-Apparition Charm! It's too extravagant!"
Emily couldn't help sighing again.
This kind of performance like a countryman entering the city should not appear on Emily.
Because Emily came from a relatively wealthy pure-blood family, she had seen too many extravagant scenes with Mrs. Foley when she was a child, and she had long been accustomed to the luxury of pure-blood nobles.
However, the luxury level of this manor has exceeded Emily's cognitive limit!
She never thought about it.
There are still people in this world who can be so extravagant!
